Extended Data Fig. 5

a, Droplet experiments examining ability of MeCP2 condensates to preferentially incorporate and concentrate HP1α compared to BRD4 domains in the presence of naked DNA. BRD4-IDR, bromodomain 1 (BD1), and extra-terminal (ET) domain were examined. MeCP2–GFP at 7.5 μM was mixed with either HP1α–mCherry, BRD4-IDR-mCherry, BRD4-BD1-mCherry, BRD4-ET-mCherry, or mCherry each at 7.5 μM and 160 nM methylated DNA in droplet formation buffers with 150 mM NaCl and 10% PEG-8000. b, mCherry partition ratios in MeCP2–GFP droplets for experiments in a. Fields per condition n = 15.
