Chromatin remodeling enzymes: taming the machines
Members of the ATP-dependent family of chromatin remodeling enzymes play key roles in the regulation of transcription, development, DNA repair and cell cycle. Each of these enzymes are multi-subunit assemblies that hydrolyze thousands of molecules of ATP in order to change nucleosome positions, disrupt DNA–histone interactions and perhaps destabilize chromatin folding. Here I review recent stud...
متن کاملChromatin remodeling by ATP-dependent molecular machines.
The eukaryotic genome is packaged into a periodic nucleoprotein structure termed chromatin. The repeating unit of chromatin, the nucleosome, consists of DNA that is wound nearly two times around an octamer of histone proteins. To facilitate DNA-directed processes in chromatin, it is often necessary to rearrange or to mobilize the nucleosomes. This remodeling of the nucleosomes is achieved by th...
متن کاملChromatin remodeling enzymes: who's on first?
A central problem in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression is understanding how gene-specific transcriptional activators orchestrate the recruitment of the myriad proteins that are required for transcription initiation. An emerging view indicates that activators must first target two types of chromatin remodeling enzyme to the promoter region: an ATP-dependent SWI/SNF-like complex and a ...
متن کاملConserved Features of Chromatin Remodeling Enzymes: A Dissertation
Chromatin structure plays an essential role in the regulation' of many nuclear processes such as transcription, replication, recombination, and repair. It is generally accepted that chromatin remodeling is a prerequisite step in gene activation. Over recent years , large multi subunit enzmes that regulate the accessibility of nucleosomal DNA have emerged as key regulators of eukaryotic transcri...
متن کاملGlobal Role for Chromatin Remodeling Enzymes in Mitotic Gene Expression
Regulation of eukaryotic gene expression requires ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes, such as SWI/SNF, and histone acetyltransferases, such as Gcn5p. Here we show that SWI/SNF remodeling controls recruitment of Gcn5p HAT activity to many genes in late mitosis and that these chromatin remodeling enzymes play a role in regulating mitotic exit. In contrast, interphase expression of GAL1, H...
