Nucleosome positioning properties of the albumin transcriptional enhancer.
Considering the importance of nucleosome position with regard to how regulatory factors recognize their binding sites in chromatin, we have investigated the inherent nucleosome positioning properties of a transcriptional enhancer of the albumin gene. In the liver, where the albumin gene is highly expressed, the enhancer exists in an array of precisely positioned, nucleosome-like particles with ...
متن کاملDNA bendability and nucleosome positioning in transcriptional regulation
The placement of nucleosomes along genomic DNA is determined by signals that can be specific or degenerate at the level of sequence; the latter signals are harder to find using conventional methods. In recent years, the development of sophisticated machine learning techniques that can extract subtle phased signals has improved our ability to distinguish between various classes of nucleosome-pos...
متن کاملNucleosome Positioning
Nucleosome positioning is not only related to genomic DNA compaction but also to other biological functions. After the chromatin is digested by micrococcal nuclease, nucleosomal (nucleosome-bound) DNA fragments can be sequenced and mapped on the genomic DNA sequence. Due to the development of modern DNA sequencing technology, genome-wide nucleosome mapping has been performed in a wide range of ...
متن کاملDynamic Regulation of Nucleosome Positioning in the Human Genome
The positioning of nucleosomes with respect to DNA plays an important role in regulating transcription. However, nucleosome mapping has been performed for only limited genomic regions in humans. We have generated genome-wide maps of nucleosome positions in both resting and activated human CD4+ T cells by direct sequencing of nucleosome ends using the Solexa high-throughput sequencing technique....
متن کاملNucleosome positioning, nucleosome spacing and the nucleosome code.
Nucleosome positioning has been the subject of intense study for many years. The properties of micrococcal nuclease, the enzyme central to these studies, are discussed. The various methods used to determine nucleosome positions in vitro and in vivo are reviewed critically. These include the traditional low resolution method of indirect end-labelling, high resolution methods such as primer exten...
