NuA4-dependent Acetylation of Nucleosomal Histones H4 and H2A Directly Stimulates Incorporation of H2A.Z by the SWR1 Complex *

TLDR
The impact of NuA4-dependent acetylation on SWR1-driven incorporation of H2A.Z into chromatin is investigated, and depletion experiments indicate that the bromodomain-containing protein Bdf1 is important for NuA 4-dependent stimulation ofSWR1.

Modification of Enhancer Chromatin: What, How, and Why?

TL;DR: An overview of enhancer-associated modifications of histones and DNA is given and enzymatic activities involved in their dynamic deposition and removal are discussed and potential downstream effectors of these marks are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone exchange, chromatin structure and the regulation of transcription

TL;DR: Ongoing research is elucidating the molecular mechanisms that regulate chromatin structure during transcription by preventing histone exchange, thereby limiting non-coding RNA expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of action and regulation of ATP-dependent chromatin-remodelling complexes

TL;DR: The 'hourglass' model of remodeller function is proposed, in which each remodeller subfamily utilizes diverse specialized proteins and protein domains to assist in nucleosomes targeting or to differentially detect nucleosome epitopes.

Global regulation of H2A.Z localization by the INO80 chromatin remodeling enzyme is essential for genome integrity

TL;DR: Genetic interactions between ino80 and htz1 support a model in which INO80 catalyzes the removal of unacetylated H2A.Z from chromatin as a mechanism to promote genome stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stepwise histone replacement by SWR1 requires dual activation with histone H2A.Z and canonical nucleosome.

TL;DR: It is shown that promoter-proximal nucleosomes are highly heterogeneous for H2A.Z in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with substantial representation of nucleosome containing one, two, or zero H2a.Z molecules.

Chromatin Modifications and Their Function

TL;DR: The surface of nucleosomes is studded with a multiplicity of modifications that can dictate the higher-order chromatin structure in which DNA is packaged and can orchestrate the ordered recruitment of enzyme complexes to manipulate DNA.

High-resolution profiling of histone methylations in the human genome.

TL;DR: High-resolution maps for the genome-wide distribution of 20 histone lysine and arginine methylations as well as histone variant H2A.Z, RNA polymerase II, and the insulator binding protein CTCF across the human genome using the Solexa 1G sequencing technology are generated.

The Biology of Chromatin Remodeling Complexes

TL;DR: This work addresses many aspects of remodeler biology: their targeting, mechanism, regulation, shared and unique properties, and specialization for particular biological processes.

The tandem affinity purification (TAP) method: a general procedure of protein complex purification.

TL;DR: The TAP method is developed as a tool that allows rapid purification under native conditions of complexes, even when expressed at their natural level, and is a very useful procedure for protein purification and proteome exploration.

Dynamic Regulation of Nucleosome Positioning in the Human Genome

TL;DR: It is found that nucleosome phasing relative to the transcription start sites is directly correlated to RNA polymerase II (Pol II) binding and the first nucleosomes downstream of a start site exhibits differential positioning in active and silent genes.
