(Submitter supplied) The structural complexity of nucleosomes underlies their functional versatility. Here we report a new type of complexity – nucleosome fragility, manifested as high sensitivity to micrococcal nuclease, in contrast to the common presumption that nucleosomes are similar in resistance to MNase digestion. Using differential MNase digestion of chromatin and high-throughput sequencing, we have identified a special group of nucleosomes termed fragile nucleosomes throughout the yeast genome, nearly one thousand of which are at previously determined “nucleosome free” loci. more...

(Submitter supplied) Understanding chromatin dynamics is a key to other related processes, including DNA replication, transcription and recombination. As a first step, recently, an increasing amount of effort has been devoted to precisely define nucleosome positioning in different organisms. The most popular method to do so is digestion by Micrococcal nuclease (MNase), nowadays followed by ultrasequencing of the generated fragments. more...

(Submitter supplied) We have developed a new genome-wide protocol for nascent transcription analysis at high resolution in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This protocol is based in run-on labeling of nascent RNA with a biotinylated precursor. We call it BioGRO for biotin-based genomic run-on.

(Submitter supplied) In order to maintain the appropriate level of mRNA it is necessary coordinate simultaneously all the steps along the mRNA life cycle. It has been shown that several factors act in the regulation of gene expression as global coordinators. Thus, some kind of information is transferred from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, imprinted in the mRNA. In this way, it is conceivable the existence of mechanisms that ensure the balance between mRNA synthesis and degradation through the information flow from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and vice versa, as a crosstalk among both process to ensure the proper mRNA homeostasis in the cell. more...

(Submitter supplied) Nucleosomes have structural and regulatory functions in all eukaryotic DNA-templated processes. The position of nucleosomes on DNA and the stability of the underlying histone-DNA interactions affect the access of regulatory proteins to DNA. Both stability and position are regulated through DNA sequence, histone post-translational modifications, histone variants, chromatin remodelers, and transcription factors. more...

(Submitter supplied) The classic view of nucleosome organization at active promoters is that two well-positioned nucleosomes flank a nucleosome-depleted region (NDR). However, this view has been recently challenged by contradictory reports as to whether a distinct set of wider (≳150 bp) NDRs instead contain unusually unstable Micrococcal Nuclease-sensitive “fragile” particles, thought to be nucleosomal because of their size. more...

(Submitter supplied) We employed an MNase-Transcription Start Site Sequence Capture method to map and determine the accessibility of all nucleosomes during immune stimulus, at high coverage for all human Pol II promoters. We uncovered features of nucleosomal organization and sensitivity to MNase digestion in B-lymphoblastoid cells. We also find that transcription factor binding is associated with sensitive nucleosomes.

(Submitter supplied) The positioning of nucleosomes within the coding regions of eukaryotic genes is aligned with respect to transcriptional start sites. This organization is likely to influence many genetic processes, requiring access to the underlying DNA. Here we show that the combined action of Isw1 and Chd1 nucleosome spacing enzymes is required to maintain this organization. In the absence of these enzymes regular positioning of the majority of nucleosomes is lost. more...

(Submitter supplied) Previous studies indicate that eukaryotic promoters display a stereotypical chromatin landscape characterized by a well-positioned +1 nucleosome near the transcription start site and an upstream -1 nucleosome that together demarcate a nucleosome-free (or depleted) region. Here we present evidence that there are two distinct types of promoters distinguished by the resistance of the -1 nucleosome to micrococcal nuclease digestion. more...

(Submitter supplied) The eukaryotic nuclear genome is organized into the fundamental units of chromatin, nucleosomes. The positions and biochemical states of nucleosomes on DNA can regulate protein-DNA interactions, and in turn influence DNA-templated events. Despite the increasing number of genome-wide maps of nucleosome position, how global changes in nucleosome position relate to changes in gene expression is poorly understood. more...

(Submitter supplied) Nucleosomes in active chromatin are dynamic, but whether they have distinct structural conformations is unknown. To identify nucleosomes with alternative structures genome-wide, we used H4S47C-anchored cleavage mapping, which revealed that nucleosomes at 5% of budding yeast nucleosome positions have asymmetric histone-DNA interactions. These asymmetric interactions are enriched at nucleosome positions that flank promoters. more...

(Submitter supplied) Experiments performed over the past three decades have shown that nucleosomes are transcriptional repressors. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, depletion of histone H4 results in the genome-wide transcriptional de-repression of hundreds genes. The mechanism of de-repression is hypothesized to be rooted directly in chromatin changes. To test this, we reproduced classical H4 depletion experiments by conditional repression of all histone H3 transcription, which depletes the supply of nucleosomes in vivo. more...
