Nucleosome formation potential of exons, introns, and Alu repeats
نویسندگان
چکیده
A program for constructing nucleosome formation potential profile was applied for investigation of exons, introns, and repetitive sequences. The program is available at http://wwwmgs.bionet.nsc.ru/mgs/programs/recon/. We have demonstrated that introns and repetitive sequences exhibit higher nucleosome formation potentials than exons. This fact may be explained by functional saturation of exons with genetic code, hindering the localization of efficient nucleosome positioning sites.

Noncoding DNA, isochores and gene expression: nucleosome formation potential
The nucleosome formation potential of introns, intergenic spacers and exons of human genes is shown here to negatively correlate with among-tissues breadth of gene expression. The nucleosome formation potential is also found to negatively correlate with the GC content of genomic sequences; the slope of regression line is steeper in exons compared with noncoding DNA (introns and intergenic space...
متن کاملStructural organization of the rat acyl-peptide hydrolase gene.
The entire nucleotide sequence of the rat acyl-peptide hydrolase gene including its 5* and 3' flanking region is presented here. Previously, the isolation of the rat acyl-peptide hydrolase (1) and its cDNA (2) were reported. By sequential screening with the cDNA and a 5 cDNA fragment, two overlapping genomic clones (APHE5 and APHH6) were isolated from two Charon 4A rat genomic libraries. From t...
متن کاملH2A.Z Nucleosome Positioning Has No Impact on Genetic Variation in Drosophila Genome
Nucleosome occupancy results in complex sequence variation rate heterogeneity by either increasing mutation rate or inhibiting DNA repair in yeast, fish, and human. H2A.Z nucleosome is extensively involved in gene transcription activation and regulation. To test whether H2A.Z nucleosome has the similar impact on sequence variability in the Drosophila genome, we profiled the H2A.Z nucleosome occ...
متن کاملWidespread A-to-I RNA Editing of Alu-Containing mRNAs in the Human Transcriptome
RNA editing by adenosine deamination generates RNA and protein diversity through the posttranscriptional modification of single nucleotides in RNA sequences. Few mammalian A-to-I edited genes have been identified despite evidence that many more should exist. Here we identify intramolecular pairs of Alu elements as a major target for editing in the human transcriptome. An experimental demonstrat...
متن کاملAlu repeat analysis in the complete human genome: trends and variations with respect to genomic composition
MOTIVATION Transposon-derived Alu repeats are exclusively associated with primate genomes. They have gained considerable importance in the recent times with evidence of their involvement in various aspects of gene regulation, e.g. alternative splicing, nucleosome positioning, CpG methylation, binding sites for transcription factors and hormone receptors, etc. The objective of this study is to i...
