Replication-guided nucleosome packing and nucleosome breathing expedite the formation of dense arrays
The first level of genome packaging in eukaryotic cells involves the formation of dense nucleosome arrays, with DNA coverage near 90% in yeasts. How cells achieve such high coverage within a short time, e.g. after DNA replication, remains poorly understood. It is known that random sequential adsorption of impenetrable particles on a line reaches high density extremely slowly, due to a jamming p...
متن کاملmodel of nucleosome arrays
In our CG model, each nucleosome, inclusive of the histone core and the ∼1.65-turn wrapped DNA, is constructed from nc = 26 charged beads, each of size σc = 2.0 nm (Fig. S1a). The beads are arranged in three stacks, where the top and bottom stacks each contain 9 beads evenly placed along a circumference of radius ro = 4.30 nm and the middle stack contains 8 beads evenly placed along a circumfer...
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 کاملNucleosome positioning, nucleosome spacing and the nucleosome code.
Nucleosome positioning has been the subject of intense study for many years. The properties of micrococcal nuclease, the enzyme central to these studies, are discussed. The various methods used to determine nucleosome positions in vitro and in vivo are reviewed critically. These include the traditional low resolution method of indirect end-labelling, high resolution methods such as primer exten...
متن کاملNucleosome repositioning via loop formation.
Active (catalyzed) and passive (intrinsic) nucleosome repositioning is known to be a crucial event during the transcriptional activation of certain eukaryotic genes. Here we consider theoretically the intrinsic mechanism and study in detail the energetics and dynamics of DNA-loop-mediated nucleosome repositioning, as previously proposed by earlier works. The surprising outcome of the present st...
