Chromatin structure of altered yeast centromeres.
We have investigated the chromatin structure of wild-type and mutationally altered centromere sequences in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by using an indirect end-labeling mapping strategy. Wild-type centromere DNA from chromosome III (CEN3) exhibits a nuclease-resistant chromatin structure 220-250 base pairs long, centered around the conserved centromere DNA element (CDE) III. A point muta...
متن کاملCentromeric chromatin in fission yeast.
A fundamental requirement for life is the ability of cells to divide properly and to pass on to their daughters a full complement of genetic material. The centromere of the chromosome is essential for this process, as it provides the DNA sequences on which the kinetochore (the proteinaceous structure that links centromeric DNA to the spindle microtubules) assembles to allow segregation of the c...
متن کاملChromatin conformation of yeast centromeres
The centromere region of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome III has been replaced by various DNA fragments from the centromere regions of yeast chromosomes III and XI. A 289-base pair centromere (CEN3) sequence can stabilize yeast chromosome III through mitosis and meiosis. The orientation of the centromeric fragments within chromosome III has no effect on the normal mitotic or meiotic behavio...
متن کاملUltrastructural organization of yeast chromatin
The ultrastructural organization of yeast chromatin was examined in Miller spread preparations of samples prepared from spheroplasts or isolated nuclei of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Micrographs from preparations dispersed in 1 mM Tris (pH 7.2) illustrate that the basic chromatin fiber in yeast exists in two ultrastructurally distinct conformations. The majority (up to 95%) of the chromatin displ...
متن کاملThe Fun30 Chromatin Remodeler Fft3 Controls Nuclear Organization and Chromatin Structure of Insulators and Subtelomeres in Fission Yeast
In eukaryotic cells, local chromatin structure and chromatin organization in the nucleus both influence transcriptional regulation. At the local level, the Fun30 chromatin remodeler Fft3 is essential for maintaining proper chromatin structure at centromeres and subtelomeres in fission yeast. Using genome-wide mapping and live cell imaging, we show that this role is linked to controlling nuclear...
