ATP-dependent chromatosome remodeling.
Chromatin serves to package, protect and organize the complex eukaryotic genomes to assure their stable inheritance over many cell generations. At the same time, chromatin must be dynamic to allow continued use of DNA during a cell's lifetime. One important principle that endows chromatin with flexibility involves ATP-dependent 'remodeling' factors, which alter DNA-histone interactions to form,...
متن کاملMolecular modeling of the chromatosome particle.
In an effort to understand the role of the linker histone in chromatin folding, its structure and location in the nucleosome has been studied by molecular modeling methods. The structure of the globular domain of the rat histone H1d, a highly conserved part of the linker histone, built by homology modeling methods, revealed a three-helical bundle fold that could be described as a helix-turn-hel...
متن کاملACF catalyses chromatosome movements in chromatin fibres.
Nucleosome-remodelling factors containing the ATPase ISWI, such as ACF, render DNA in chromatin accessible by promoting the sliding of histone octamers. Although the ATP-dependent repositioning of mononucleosomes is readily observable in vitro, it is unclear to which extent nucleosomes can be moved in physiological chromatin, where neighbouring nucleosomes, linker histones and the folding of th...
متن کاملDifferential Dynamics of ATR-Mediated Checkpoint Regulators
The ATR-Chk1 checkpoint pathway is activated by UV-induced DNA lesions and replication stress. Little was known about the spatio and temporal behaviour of the proteins involved, and we, therefore, examined the behaviour of the ATRIP-ATR and Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 putative DNA damage sensor complexes and the downstream effector kinase Chk1. We developed assays for the generation and validation of stable...
متن کاملENA/VASP proteins: multifunctional regulators of actin cytoskeleton dynamics.
The spatial and temporal regulation of the actin cytoskeleton is fundamental to several cellular processes as diverse as cell motility and immune responses. At the molecular level, the remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton depends on two key events: actin filament nucleation and elongation. Seminal studies on the actin-based intracellular motility of the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogene...
