Brownian dynamics simulation of DNA unrolling from the nucleosome.
Nucleosomes organize chromatin in eukaryotic cells at the lowest scale by wrapping the DNA double helix around a histone octamer. The mechanism by which this structure can be opened, giving access to DNA-processing enzymes, is of fundamental biological importance. Here we describe a new coarse-grained model based on the toroidal geometry of the nucleosome which allows the simulation of nucleoso...
متن کاملDNA Methylation Regulated Nucleosome Dynamics
A strong correlation between nucleosome positioning and DNA methylation patterns has been reported in literature. However, the mechanistic model accounting for the correlation remains elusive. In this study, we evaluated the effects of specific DNA methylation patterns on modulating nucleosome conformation and stability using FRET and SAXS. CpG dinucleotide repeats at 10 bp intervals were found...
متن کاملNucleosome dynamics regulates DNA processing
DSBs, if not repaired properly, pose a serious threat to genome integrity. Improperly repaired DSBs can lead to loss of genetic material, to chromosomal duplications or translocations and to carcinogenesis1. The yeast Mre11–Rad50–Xrs2 (MRX) complex facilitates the recognition of DNA ends and commitment to repair by homologous recombination. Subsequently, the nucleolytic processing of the ends r...
متن کاملEvaluation of DNA intramolecular interactions for nucleosome positioning in yeast.
We calculated intramolecular interaction energies of DNA by threading DNA sequences around crystal structures of nucleosomes. The strength of the intramolecular energy oscillations at frequency approximately 10 bps for dinucleotides was in agreement with previous nucleosome models. The intramolecular energy calculated along yeast genome positively correlated with nucleosome positioning experime...
متن کاملWidespread Compensatory Evolution Conserves DNA-Encoded Nucleosome Organization in Yeast
Evolution maintains organismal fitness by preserving genomic information. This is widely assumed to involve conservation of specific genomic loci among species. Many genomic encodings are now recognized to integrate small contributions from multiple genomic positions into quantitative dispersed codes, but the evolutionary dynamics of such codes are still poorly understood. Here we show that in ...
