Micron-scale coherence in interphase chromatin dynamics.
Chromatin structure and dynamics control all aspects of DNA biology yet are poorly understood, especially at large length scales. We developed an approach, displacement correlation spectroscopy based on time-resolved image correlation analysis, to map chromatin dynamics simultaneously across the whole nucleus in cultured human cells. This method revealed that chromatin movement was coherent acr...
متن کاملNucleosome packing in interphase chromatin
Higher-order chromatin fibers (200--300 A in diameter) are reproducibly released from nuclei after lysis in the absence of formalin and/or detergent. Electron microscope analysis of these fibers shows that they are composed of a continuous array of closely apposed nucleosomes which display several distinct packing patterns. Analysis of the organization of nucleosomes within these arrays and the...
متن کاملInterphase Chromatin LINEd with RNA
RNA has been proposed to be a component of an underlying nuclear matrix. Hall et al. show that noncoding, repetitive RNAs, some derived from LINE1 elements, stably associate with interphase chromosomes and copurify with nuclear scaffold, indicating that RNAs might impact interphase chromosome architecture.
متن کاملChromatin associations in Arabidopsis interphase nuclei
The arrangement of chromatin within interphase nuclei seems to be caused by topological constraints and related to gene expression depending on tissue and developmental stage. In yeast and animals it was found that homologous and heterologous chromatin association are required to realize faithful expression and DNA repair. To test whether such associations are present in plants we analyzed Arab...
متن کاملThe role of insulator elements in large-scale chromatin structure in interphase.
Insulator elements can be classified as enhancer-blocking or barrier insulators depending on whether they interfere with enhancer-promoter interactions or act as barriers against the spreading of heterochromatin. The former class may exert its function at least in part by attaching the chromatin fiber to a nuclear substrate such as the nuclear matrix, resulting in the formation of chromatin loo...
