A role for ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling in the hierarchical cooperativity between noninteracting transcription factors
Chromatin remodeling machineries are abundant and diverse in eukaryotic cells. They have been involved in a variety of situations such as histone exchange and DNA repair, but their importance in gene expression remains unclear. Although the influence of nucleosome position on the regulation of gene expression is generally envisioned under the quasi-equilibrium perspective, it is proposed that g...
متن کاملNucleosome-mediated cooperativity between transcription factors.
Cooperative binding of transcription factors (TFs) to promoters and other regulatory regions is essential for precise gene expression. The classical model of cooperativity requires direct interactions between TFs, thus constraining the arrangement of TF sites in regulatory regions. Recent genomic and functional studies, however, demonstrate a great deal of flexibility in such arrangements with ...
متن کاملDisplacement of sequence-specific transcription factors from mitotic chromatin
The general inhibition in transcriptional activity during mitosis abolishes the stress-inducible expression of the human hsp70 gene. Among the four transcription factors that bind to the human hsp70 promoter, the DNA-binding activities of three (C/EBP, GBP, and HSF1) were normal, while Sp1 showed reduced binding activity in mitotic cell extracts. In vivo footprinting and immunocytochemical anal...
متن کاملHighly specific interactions between bHLH transcription factors and chromatin during retina development.
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors such as atonal homolog 5 (ATH5) and neurogenin 2 (NGN2) determine crucial events in retinogenesis. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, we demonstrate that their interactions with target promoters undergo dynamic changes as development proceeds in the chick embryo. Chick ATH5 associates with its own promoter and with the promoter of the beta3 ...
متن کاملChromatin structure and factor site occupancies in an in vivo-assembled transcription elongation complex.
The chromatin structure specific to the SV40 late transcription elongation complex as well as the occupancy of several sites that bind transcription factors have been examined. These features have been determined by assessing blockage to restriction enzyme digestion. Cleavage specific to the elongation complex has been quantified using ternary complex analysis. This method involves radioactivel...
