Reconstitution of nucleosome core particles from recombinant histones and DNA.
The ability to prepare nucleosome core particles (NCPs), or nucleosomal arrays, from recombinant histone proteins and defined-sequence DNA has become a requirement in many projects that address the role of histone modifications, histone variants, or histone mutations in nucleosome and chromatin structure. This approach offers many advantages, such as the ability to combine histone variants and ...
متن کاملCompaction kinetics on single DNAs: purified nucleosome reconstitution systems versus crude extract.
Kinetics of compaction on single DNA molecules are studied by fluorescence videomicroscopy in the presence of 1), Xenopus egg extracts and 2), purified nucleosome reconstitution systems using a combination of histones with either the histone chaperone Nucleosome Assembly Protein (NAP-1) or negatively charged macromolecules such as polyglutamic acid and RNA. The comparison shows that the compact...
متن کاملStretching force dependent transitions in single stranded DNA
Mechanical properties of DNA, in particular their stretch dependent extension and their loop formation characteristics, have been recognized as an effective probe for understanding the possible biochemical role played by them in a living cell. Single stranded DNA (ssDNA), which, till recently was presumed to be an simple flexible polymer continues to spring surprises. Synthetic ssDNA, like poly...
متن کاملReconstitution of native-like nucleosome core particles from reversed-phase-HPLC-fractionated histones.
We have reconstituted nucleosome core particles from reversed-phase-HPLC-purified chicken erythrocyte core histones and 145 bp random-sequence DNA fragments. Characterization of the resulting nucleoprotein complexes by sedimentation velocity, CD and DNase I footprinting showed that they are structurally indistinguishable from native nucleosome core particles. Furthermore, we have shown that the...
متن کاملActive nucleosome positioning beyond intrinsic biophysics is revealed by in vitro reconstitution.
Genome-wide nucleosome maps revealed well-positioned nucleosomes as a major theme in eukaryotic genome organization. Promoter regions often show a conserved pattern with an NDR (nucleosome-depleted region) from which regular nucleosomal arrays emanate. Three mechanistic contributions to such NDR-array-organization and nucleosome positioning in general are discussed: DNA sequence, DNA binders an...
