Permanent nucleosome exclusion from the Gal4p-inducible yeast GCY1 promoter.
The promoter of the galactose-inducible yeast GCY1 gene allows high rates of basal transcription and is kept free of nucleosomes regardless of growth conditions. The general regulatory factor, Reb1p, as well as the nucleotide sequence of a single Gal4p-binding site, structurally cooperate to exclude nucleosomes from about 480 bp of DNA that spans the UAS(GAL), the Reb1p-binding site, the TATA-b...
متن کاملMechanism of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Exclusion from Mycobacterial Phagosomes
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is sensitive to nitric oxide generated by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Consequently, to ensure its survival in macrophages, M. tuberculosis inhibits iNOS recruitment to its phagosome by an unknown mechanism. Here we report the mechanism underlying this process, whereby mycobacteria affect the scaffolding protein EBP50, which normally binds to iNOS and links...
متن کاملInducible promoter-repressor system from the Lactobacillus casei phage phiFSW.
With the aim to extend the presently available inducible gene expression systems for lactobacilli, we have isolated a thermoinducible promoter-repressor cassette from the temperate Lactobacillus casei phage phiFSW-TI in Escherichia coli. The phiFSW-TI promoter fragment was abutted to the plasmid-borne promoterless beta-glucuronidase (gusA) reporter gene and shown to direct its transcription in ...
متن کاملNucleosome occupancy reveals regulatory elements of the CFTR promoter
Access to regulatory elements of the genome can be inhibited by nucleosome core particles arranged along the DNA strand. Hence, sites that are accessible by transcription factors may be located by using nuclease digestion to identify the relative nucleosome occupancy of a genomic region. In order to define novel cis regulatory elements in the ∼2.7-kb promoter region of the cystic fibrosis trans...
متن کاملThe Effect of an Intervening Promoter Nucleosome on Gene Expression
Nucleosomes, which are the basic packaging units of chromatin, are stably positioned in promoters upstream of most stress-inducible genes. These promoter nucleosomes are generally thought to repress gene expression due to exclusion; they prevent transcription factors from accessing their target sites on the DNA. However, the role of promoter nucleosomes that do not directly occlude transcriptio...
