Prior to SEC-MALLS runs, p300 variants were acetylated and deacetylated using p300 HAT or SIRT2 as described previously26 (link). The reactions were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) as done previously52 (link). Size-exclusion chromatography was performed at a flow rate of 0.5 ml min-1 on a Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL column equilibrated in SEC-MALLS buffer (20 mM HEPES, 300mM NaCl, 5μM ZnCl2, 0.5mM TCEP) at 21 °C. A 50 μl sample of p300 at 2 mg ml-1 was injected onto the column and multi angle laser light scattering was recorded with a laser emitting at 690 nm using a DAWN-EOS detector (Wyatt TechnologyCorp. Santa Barbara, CA). The refractive index was measured using a RI2000 detector (Schambeck SFD). The molecular weight was calculated form differential refractive index measurements across the center of the elution peaks using the Debye model for protein using ASTRA software version 6.0.5.3.
