Trajectories of microsecond molecular dynamics simulations of nucleosomes and nucleosome core particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present here raw trajectories of molecular dynamics simulations for nucleosome with linker DNA strands as well as minimalistic nucleosome core particle model. The simulations were done in explicit solvent using CHARMM36 force field. We used this data in the research article Shaytan et al., 2016 [1]. The trajectory files are supplemented by TCL scripts providing advanced visualization capabilities.

Shearing of the CENP-A dimerization interface mediates plasticity in the octameric centromeric nucleosome
The centromeric nucleosome is a key epigenetic determinant of centromere identity and function. Consequently, deciphering how CENP-A containing nucleosomes contribute structurally to centromere function is a fundamental question in chromosome biology. Here, we performed microsecond timescale all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of CENP-A and H3 nucleosomes, and report that the octameric...
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of DNA loops on nucleosomes studied with atomistic, microsecond-scale molecular dynamics
DNA loop formation on nucleosomes is strongly implicated in chromatin remodeling and occurs spontaneously in nucleosomes subjected to superhelical stress. The nature of such loops depends crucially on the balance between DNA deformation and DNA interaction with the nucleosome core. Currently, no high-resolution structural data on these loops exist. Although uniform rod models have been used to ...
متن کاملMultiscale modeling of nucleosome dynamics.
Nucleosomes form the fundamental building blocks of chromatin. Subtle modifications of the constituent histone tails mediate chromatin stability and regulate gene expression. For this reason, it is important to understand structural dynamics of nucleosomes at atomic levels. We report a novel multiscale model of the fundamental chromatin unit, a nucleosome, using a simplified model for rapid dis...
متن کاملUnwrapping of nucleosomal DNA ends: a multiscale molecular dynamics study.
To permit access to DNA-binding proteins involved in the control and expression of the genome, the nucleosome undergoes structural remodeling including unwrapping of nucleosomal DNA segments from the nucleosome core. Here we examine the mechanism of DNA dissociation from the nucleosome using microsecond timescale coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations exhibit short-lived...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of DNA Sequence Effects on the Nucleosome Core Particle
The nucleosome particle is an essential biological macromolecule serving both a structural and gene regulatory roles in eukaryotic genomes. The nucleosome particle has a cylindrical shape, composed of 8 highly conserved histone proteins wrapped by a sequence of 147 base pairs of DNA. Considerable, experimental evidence has shown that different sequences of 147 base pairs have varying preference...
