Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleosome Movement by CHRAC and ISWI without Disruption or trans-Displacement of the Histone Octamer
TL;DR: It is found that CHRAC induces movements of intact histone octamers to neighboring DNA segments without facilitating their displacement to competing DNA or histone chaperones in trans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial genomics of the human nucleolus.
Attila Németh,Ana Conesa,Javier Santoyo-Lopez,Ignacio Medina,David Montaner,Bálint Péterfia,Irina Solovei,Thomas Cremer,Joaquín Dopazo,Gernot Längst +9 more
TL;DR: Genomics of a nuclear compartment of the eukaryotic cell revealed the pattern of nucleolus-associated chromatin domains (NADs) in the linear human genome and identified different gene families and certain satellite repeats as the major building blocks of NADs.
Journal ArticleDOI
NoRC--a novel member of mammalian ISWI-containing chromatin remodeling machines.
Ralf Strohner,Attila Németh,Petr Jansa,Urs Hofmann-Rohrer,Raffaella Santoro,Gernot Längst,Ingrid Grummt +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that NoRC is a novel nucleolar chromatin remodeling machine that may serve a role in the regulation of the rDNA locus.
Journal ArticleDOI
ISWI Is an ATP-Dependent Nucleosome Remodeling Factor
Davide Corona,Gernot Längst,Cedric R. Clapier,Edgar Bonte,Simona Ferrari,John W. Tamkun,Peter B. Becker +6 more
TL;DR: The isolated ISWI protein itself was able to carry out nucleosome remodeling, nucleosom rearrangement, and chromatin assembly reactions, and the ATPase activity of ISWI was stimulated by nucleosomes but not by free DNA or free histones, indicating that ISWI recognizes a specific structural feature of nucleosites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical role for the histone H4 N terminus in nucleosome remodeling by ISWI.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the H4 tail is critically required for nucleosome remodeling and spacing at a step subsequent to interaction with the substrate.
