Histone packing in the nucleosome core particle of chromatin.
The chromatin core particle DNA conformation deduced in broad outline by Finch et al. [Finch, J. T., Lutter, L. C., Rhodes, D., Brown, R. S., Rushton, B., Levitt, M. & Klug, A. (1977) Nature 269, 29-36] can be described in detail using other available experimental results. Histone binding sites compatible with the pattern of pancreatic DNase I digestion (Simpson, R. T. & Whitlock, J. P., Jr. (1...
متن کاملStructure of the Drosophila nucleosome core particle highlights evolutionary constraints on the H2A-H2B histone dimer
We determined the 2.45 A crystal structure of the nucleosome core particle from Drosophila melanogaster and compared it to that of Xenopus laevis bound to the identical 147 base-pair DNA fragment derived from human alpha-satellite DNA. Differences between the two structures primarily reflect 16 amino acid substitutions between species, 15 of which are in histones H2A and H2B. Four of these invo...
متن کاملMultiscale modelling of nucleosome core particle aggregation.
The nucleosome core particle (NCP) is the basic building block of chromatin. Under the influence of multivalent cations, isolated mononucleosomes exhibit a rich phase behaviour forming various columnar phases with characteristic NCP-NCP stacking. NCP stacking is also a regular element of chromatin structure in vivo. Understanding the mechanism of nucleosome stacking and the conditions leading t...
متن کاملStructural dynamics of nucleosome core particle: comparison with nucleosomes containing histone variants.
The present study provides insights on the dominant mechanisms of motions of the nucleosome core particle and the changes in its functional dynamics in response to histone variants. Comparative analysis of the global dynamics of nucleosomes with native and variant H2A histones, using normal mode analysis revealed that the dynamics of the nucleosome is highly symmetric, and its interaction with ...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of DNA Sequence Effects on the Nucleosome Core Particle
The nucleosome particle is an essential biological macromolecule serving both a structural and gene regulatory roles in eukaryotic genomes. The nucleosome particle has a cylindrical shape, composed of 8 highly conserved histone proteins wrapped by a sequence of 147 base pairs of DNA. Considerable, experimental evidence has shown that different sequences of 147 base pairs have varying preference...
