Chromatin loops are selectively anchored using scaffold/matrix-attachment regions.
The biological significance of nuclear scaffold/matrix-attachment regions (S/MARs) remains a topic of long-standing interest. The key to understanding S/MAR behavior relies on determining the physical attributes of in vivo S/MARs and whether they serve as rigid or flexible chromatin loop anchors. To analyze S/MAR behavior, single and multiple copies of the S/MAR-containing constructs were intro...
متن کاملChromatin Switches and Loops
A mechanism reveals how Swi6 spreads heterochromatin, silencing gene expression. HP1 Spreads the Word A classic example of how chromatin architecture regulates gene expression is the formation and spread of heterochromatin, a repressive state marked by histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9Me). In humans, heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) binds to H3K9Me and is required for spreading of heterochro...
متن کاملMapping accessible chromatin regions using Sono-Seq.
Disruptions in local chromatin structure often indicate features of biological interest such as regulatory regions. We find that sonication of cross-linked chromatin, when combined with a size-selection step and massively parallel short-read sequencing, can be used as a method (Sono-Seq) to map locations of high chromatin accessibility in promoter regions. Sono-Seq sites frequently correspond t...
متن کاملMathematical model to predict regions of chromatin attachment to the nuclear matrix.
The potentiation and subsequent initiation of transcription are complex biological phenomena. The region of attachment of the chromatin fiber to the nuclear matrix, known as the matrix attachment region or scaffold attachment region (MAR or SAR), are thought to be requisite for the transcriptional regulation of the eukaryotic genome. As expressed sequences should be contained in these regions, ...
متن کاملChromatin: A Connection Between Loops and Barriers?
A genetic screen for proteins that can block the spread of silenced heterochromatin has identified components of the nuclear pores with potential barrier activity. These results suggest that formation of loops of chromatin anchored to the pore could be one mechanism of barrier function.
