Chd1 chromatin remodelers maintain nucleosome organization and repress cryptic transcription.
Chromatin organization is essential for defining transcription units and maintaining genomic integrity in eukaryotes. In this study, we found that deletion of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Chd1 chromatin remodelers, hrp1 and hrp3, causes strong, genome-wide accumulation of antisense transcripts. Nucleosome mapping revealed a specific role for Chd1 remodelers in the positioning of nucleosomes in...
متن کاملThe ISW1 and CHD1 ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers compete to set nucleosome spacing in vivo
Adenosine triphosphate-dependent chromatin remodeling machines play a central role in gene regulation by manipulating chromatin structure. Most genes have a nucleosome-depleted region at the promoter and an array of regularly spaced nucleosomes phased relative to the transcription start site. In vitro, the three known yeast nucleosome spacing enzymes (CHD1, ISW1 and ISW2) form arrays with diffe...
متن کاملThe chromatin remodelers RSC and ISW1 display functional and chromatin-based promoter antagonism
ISWI family chromatin remodelers typically organize nucleosome arrays, while SWI/SNF family remodelers (RSC) typically disorganize and eject nucleosomes, implying an antagonism that is largely unexplored in vivo. Here, we describe two independent genetic screens for rsc suppressors that yielded mutations in the promoter-focused ISW1a complex or mutations in the 'basic patch' of histone H4 (an e...
متن کاملAnalysis of Histone Exchange during Chromatin Purification.
Central to the study of chromosome biology are techniques that permit the purification of small chromatin sections for analysis of associated DNA and proteins, including histones. Chromatin purification protocols vary greatly in the extent of chemical cross-linking used to prevent protein dissociation/re-association during isolation. Particularly for genome-wide analyses, chromatin purification...
متن کاملReconstitution of recombinant chromatin establishes a requirement for histone-tail modifications during chromatin assembly and transcription.
The human ISWI-containing factor RSF (remodeling and spacing factor) was found to mediate nucleosome deposition and, in the presence of ATP, generate regularly spaced nucleosome arrays. Using this system, recombinant chromatin was reconstituted with bacterially produced histones. Acetylation of the histone tails was found to play an important role in establishing regularly spaced nucleosome arr...
