ChromoShake: a chromosome dynamics simulator reveals that chromatin loops stiffen centromeric chromatin
ChromoShake is a three-dimensional simulator designed to find the thermodynamically favored states for given chromosome geometries. The simulator has been applied to a geometric model based on experimentally determined positions and fluctuations of DNA and the distribution of cohesin and condensin in the budding yeast centromere. Simulations of chromatin in differing initial configurations reve...
متن کاملCohesin organizes chromatin loops at DNA replication factories.
Genomic DNA is packed in chromatin fibers organized in higher-order structures within the interphase nucleus. One level of organization involves the formation of chromatin loops that may provide a favorable environment to processes such as DNA replication, transcription, and repair. However, little is known about the mechanistic basis of this structuration. Here we demonstrate that cohesin part...
متن کاملChromatin Switches and Loops
A mechanism reveals how Swi6 spreads heterochromatin, silencing gene expression. HP1 Spreads the Word A classic example of how chromatin architecture regulates gene expression is the formation and spread of heterochromatin, a repressive state marked by histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9Me). In humans, heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) binds to H3K9Me and is required for spreading of heterochro...
متن کاملChromatin: A Connection Between Loops and Barriers?
A genetic screen for proteins that can block the spread of silenced heterochromatin has identified components of the nuclear pores with potential barrier activity. These results suggest that formation of loops of chromatin anchored to the pore could be one mechanism of barrier function.
متن کاملChromatin loops, gene positioning, and gene expression
Technological developments and intense research over the last years have led to a better understanding of the 3D structure of the genome and its influence on genome function inside the cell nucleus. We will summarize topological studies performed on four model gene loci: the α- and β-globin gene loci, the antigen receptor loci, the imprinted H19-Igf2 locus and the Hox gene clusters. Collectivel...
