Nucleosomes accelerate transcription factor dissociation
Transcription factors (TF) bind DNA-target sites within promoters to activate gene expression. TFs target their DNA-recognition sequences with high specificity by binding with resident times of up to hours in vitro. However, in vivo TFs can exchange on the order of seconds. The factors that regulate TF dynamics in vivo and increase dissociation rates by orders of magnitude are not known. We inv...
متن کاملTranscription Factor Binding Sites Prediction Based on Modified Nucleosomes
In computational methods, position weight matrices (PWMs) are commonly applied for transcription factor binding site (TFBS) prediction. Although these matrices are more accurate than simple consensus sequences to predict actual binding sites, they usually produce a large number of false positive (FP) predictions and so are impoverished sources of information. Several studies have employed addit...
متن کاملNucleosomes, transcription, and probability
Speaking of current measurements on single ion channel molecules, David Colquhoun wrote in 2006, "Individual molecules behave randomly, so suddenly we had to learn how to deal with stochastic processes." Here I describe theoretical efforts to understand recent experimental observations on the chromatin structure of single gene molecules, a molecular biologist's path toward probabilistic theories.
متن کاملArchaeal Histones, Nucleosomes, and Transcription Initiation
Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and Metha-nobacterium formicicum, and five in Methanococcus and Charles J. Daniels Department of Microbiology jannaschii, two of which are plasmid-encoded (Bult et al., 1996; Grayling et al., 1996). In most cases, the primary sequences of the archaeal histones within one species are more similar to each other than to the sequences of histones in other Archae...
متن کاملTranscription of nucleosomes from human chromatin.
Nucleosomes (chromatin subunits) prepared by micrococcal nuclease digestion of human nuclei are similar in histone content but substantially reduced in non-histone proteins as compared to undigested chromatin. Chromatin transcription experiments indicate that the DNA in the nucleosomes is accessible to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in vitro. The template capacities of chromatin and nucleosomes a...
