+The purified DNA fragments of 121 bp size covering the region of identified ChAP-Seq peaks (61 bp peak extended 30 bp to each side; final concentration 31 nM) were incubated
+for 30 min at room temperature with 0, 50 or 200-fold purified DtxR protein excess or 0, 300 and 400-fold excess, respectively. The reaction buffer contained 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCl2, 40 mM KCl, 5% (v/v) glycerol, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), and 150 μM MnCl2. Afterwards,separation followed by a gel electrophoresis using a native polyacrylamide (10%) gel supplemented with 1 mM DTT and 150 μM MnCl2. Electrophoresis was performed at 170 V using TB buffer (89 mM Tris, 89 mM boric acid) supplemented with 1 mM DTT and 150 μM MnCl2 for 1.5 h. Gels were stained for 20 min with ethidium bromide. 121 bp promoter region of acn served as negative control. Protocol was adjusted according to Wennerhold and Bott (2006).

+The expression plasmid pET24b-dtxR-C in E. coli BL21(DE3) was used for overproduction of DtxR of Corynebacterium glutamicum containing a His-Tag (HHHHLEHHHHHH) at the carboxyl terminus as previously described (Wennerhold and Bott, 2006). DtxR was purified using Ni-NTA agarose column material (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions to the gravity flow protocol. Fractions containing DtxR were pooled and elution buffer was exchanged against TG buffer (30 mM Tris-HCl, 10% (v/v) glycerol, pH 7.5) using PD-10 desalting columns (Cytiva, USA). Concentration was firstly evaluated with Bradford assay, and further measured using Qubit Protein Assay Kit (Invitrogen).
