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 کاملNucleosome packing in interphase chromatin
Higher-order chromatin fibers (200--300 A in diameter) are reproducibly released from nuclei after lysis in the absence of formalin and/or detergent. Electron microscope analysis of these fibers shows that they are composed of a continuous array of closely apposed nucleosomes which display several distinct packing patterns. Analysis of the organization of nucleosomes within these arrays and the...
متن کاملComplex of linker histone H5 with the nucleosome and its implications for chromatin packing.
Linker histones are essential for chromatin filament formation, and they play key roles in the regulation of gene expression. Despite the determination of structures of the nucleosome and linker histones, the location of the linker histone on the nucleosome is still a matter of debate. Here we show by computational docking that the globular domain of linker histone variant H5 (GH5) has three di...
متن کاملInteractions between the nucleosome histone core and Arp8 in the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex.
Actin-related protein Arp8 is a component of the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex. Yeast Arp8 (yArp8) comprises two domains: a 25-KDa N-terminal domain, found only in yeast, and a 75-KDa C-terminal domain (yArp8CTD) that contains the actin fold and is conserved across other species. The crystal structure shows that yArp8CTD contains three insertions within the actin core. Using a combination ...
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...
