TLDR
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.

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.

New insights into nucleosome and chromatin structure: an ordered state or a disordered affair?

TL;DR: The compaction of genomic DNA into chromatin has profound implications for the regulation of key processes such as transcription, replication and DNA repair, and it is becoming clear that chromatin structures are not nearly as uniform and regular as previously assumed.

DNA methylation dynamics during epigenetic reprogramming in the germline and preimplantation embryos

TL;DR: Recent technological advances in genome-wide DNA methylation analysis and the functional description of novel enzymatic DNA demethylation pathways have provided significant insights into the molecular processes that prepare the mammalian embryo for normal development.

Twenty-Five Years of the Nucleosome, Fundamental Particle of the Eukaryote Chromosome

TL;DR: The chromatin field needs much more information about structure beyond the nucleosome, and there is insufficient evidence that acetylation actually causes chromatin unfolding, and functional analysis in cell-free systems must be extended beyond theucleosome to the chromosomal context.

A New Efficient Gene Disruption Cassette for Repeated Use in Budding Yeast

TL;DR: A loxP-kanMX-loxP gene disruption cassette is developed, which combines the advantages of the heterologous kanr marker with those from the Cre- lox P recombination system, and will be of great advantage for the functional analysis of gene families.

New DNA sequence rules for high affinity binding to histone octamer and sequence-directed nucleosome positioning.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of highest affinity molecules were selected, cloned and sequenced, their affinities (free energies) for histone octamer in nucleosome reconstitution measured, and their ability to position nucleosomes in vitro assessed by native gel electrophoresis.

ATP-Driven Exchange of Histone H2AZ Variant Catalyzed by SWR1 Chromatin Remodeling Complex

TL;DR: It is found that Swr1, a Swi2/Snf2-related adenosine triphosphatase, is the catalytic core of a multisubunit, histone-variant exchanger that efficiently replaces conventional histone H2A with hist one H2AZ in nucleosome arrays.

Nucleosome positioning and gene regulation: advances through genomics

TL;DR: What high-resolution genome-wide maps of nucleosomes positions have taught us about how nucleosome positioning demarcates promoter regions and transcriptional start sites and how the composition and structure of promoter nucleosites facilitate or inhibit transcription is discussed.
