Single-base resolution nucleosome mapping on DNA sequences.

چکیده
Nucleosome DNA bendability pattern extracted from large nucleosome DNA database of C. elegans is used for construction of full length (116 dinucleotide positions) nucleosome DNA bendability matrix. The matrix can be used for sequence-directed mapping of the nucleosomes on the sequences. Several alternative positions for a given nucleosome are typically predicted, separated by multiples of nucleosome DNA period. The corresponding computer program is successfully tested on best known experimental examples of accurately positioned nucleosomes. The uncertainty of the computational mapping is +/-1 base. The procedure is placed on publicly accessible server and can be applied to any DNA sequence of interest.

Single-Base Resolution Sequence-Directed Nucleosome Mapping
Nucleosome positioning along the DNA sequence is often viewed as a combination of two distinct aspects – translational positioning and rotational positioning. With low-resolution ( 10–20 bases) mapping techniques such as MNase digestion of chromatin, only the approximate translational position of the nucleosomes is determined. Rotational positioning can be evaluated only when the outward/inward...

SUMMARY The DNA in eukaryotic cells is packed into the chromatin that is composed of nucleosomes. Positioning of the nucleosome core particles on the sequence is a problem of great interest because of the role nucleosomes play in different cellular processes including gene regulation. Using the sequence structure of 10.4 base DNA repeat presented in our previous works and nucleosome core DNA se...
متن کاملStructured nucleosome fingerprints enable high-resolution mapping of chromatin architecture within regulatory regions.
Transcription factors canonically bind nucleosome-free DNA, making the positioning of nucleosomes within regulatory regions crucial to the regulation of gene expression. Using the assay of transposase accessible chromatin (ATAC-seq), we observe a highly structured pattern of DNA fragment lengths and positions around nucleosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and use this distinctive two-dimension...
متن کاملGenome-wide mapping of nucleosome positioning and DNA methylation within individual DNA molecules.
DNA methylation and nucleosome positioning work together to generate chromatin structures that regulate gene expression. Nucleosomes are typically mapped using nuclease digestion requiring significant amounts of material and varying enzyme concentrations. We have developed a method (NOMe-seq) that uses a GpC methyltransferase (M.CviPI) and next generation sequencing to generate a high resolutio...
متن کاملSingle-base resolution mapping of H1-nucleosome interactions and 3D organization of the nucleosome.
Despite the key role of the linker histone H1 in chromatin structure and dynamics, its location and interactions with nucleosomal DNA have not been elucidated. In this work we have used a combination of electron cryomicroscopy, hydroxyl radical footprinting, and nanoscale modeling to analyze the structure of precisely positioned mono-, di-, and trinucleosomes containing physiologically assemble...
