Contribution of histone N-terminal tails to the structure and stability of nucleosomes☆☆☆
Histones are the protein components of the nucleosome, which forms the basic architecture of eukaryotic chromatin. Histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are composed of two common regions, the "histone fold" and the "histone tail". Many efforts have been focused on the mechanisms by which the post-translational modifications of histone tails regulate the higher-order chromatin architecture. On the othe...
متن کاملPlacebo. Historie, biologi og effekt
Since 1950 or so, placebos and their effect have generated a considerable interest in certain medical communities, in particular among psychiatrists and the designers of clinical trials, yet the only significant external study of this phenomenon to appear has been Howard Brody's doctoral investigation, Placebos and the philosophy ofmedicine, published in 1980. In 1997, however, three book-lengt...
متن کاملSpecific contributions of histone tails and their acetylation to the mechanical stability of nucleosomes.
The distinct contributions of histone tails and their acetylation to nucleosomal stability were examined by mechanical disruption of individual nucleosomes in a single chromatin fiber using an optical trap. Enzymatic removal of H2A/H2B tails primarily decreased the strength of histone-DNA interactions located approximately +/-36bp from the dyad axis of symmetry (off-dyad strong interactions), w...
متن کاملStabilization of Nucleosomes by Histone Tails and by FACT Revealed by spFRET Microscopy
A correct chromatin structure is important for cell viability and is tightly regulated by numerous factors. Human protein complex FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) is an essential factor involved in chromatin transcription and cancer development. Here FACT-dependent changes in the structure of single nucleosomes were studied with single-particle Förster resonance energy transfer (spFRE...
متن کاملChromatin dynamics: nucleosomes go mobile through twist defects.
We study the spontaneous "sliding" of histone spools (nucleosomes) along DNA as a result of thermally activated single base pair twist defects. To this end we map the system onto a suitably extended Frenkel-Kontorova model. Combining results from several recent experiments we are able to estimate the nucleosome mobility without adjustable parameters. Our model shows also how the local mobility ...
