Yeast PHO Genes: An Excellent Model for Elucidation of Chromatin-Remodelling Mechanisms
Nucleosomes, the basic units of chromatin structure, repress transcription by restricting access of transcription factors to promoter cis-regulatory elements. It has recently become clearly evident that nucleosomes are highly dynamic and that there is, especially in yeast, a constant histone turnover mediated by a variety of chromatin-modifying and -remodelling multiprotein complexes. The yeast...
متن کاملRoles of Chromatin insulators in gene regulation and diseases
With advances in genetic science, the dynamic structure of eukaryotic genome is considered as basis of gene expression regulation. Long-distance communication between regulatory elements and target promoters is critical and the mechanisms responsible for this connection are just starting to emerge. Chromatin insulators are key determinants of proper gene regulation and precise organization of c...

Acknowledgements First, I want to thank Professor Wolfram Hörz for giving me the opportunity to work his laboratory. During the first years of my work he was a constant source of inspiration. I will remember him not only as a scientific mentor but as a warm and affectionate person who truly cared for his students. I want to thank Philipp Korber for his constant advice and also for his support d...
متن کاملIno80 Chromatin Remodeling Complex Promotes Recovery of Stalled Replication Forks
BACKGROUND Chromatin remodeling complexes facilitate the access of enzymes that mediate transcription, replication or repair of DNA by modulating nucleosome position and/or composition. Ino80 is the DNA-dependent Snf2-like ATPase subunit of a complex whose nucleosome remodeling activity requires actin-related proteins, Arp4, Arp5 and Arp8, as well as two RuvB-like DNA helicase subunits. Budding...
متن کاملThe yeast PHO5 promoter: from single locus to systems biology of a paradigm for gene regulation through chromatin
Chromatin dynamics crucially contributes to gene regulation. Studies of the yeast PHO5 promoter were key to establish this nowadays accepted view and continuously provide mechanistic insight in chromatin remodeling and promoter regulation, both on single locus as well as on systems level. The PHO5 promoter is a context independent chromatin switch module where in the repressed state positioned ...
