Histone Octamer Transfer by a Chromatin-Remodeling Complex [PDF]
RSC, an abundant, essential chromatin-remodeling complex related to SWI/SNF complex, catalyzes the transfer of a histone octamer from a nucleosome core particle to naked DNA. The newly formed octamer-DNA complex is identical with a nucleosome in all respects. The reaction requires ATP and involves an activated RSC-nucleosome intermediate. The mechanism

Background The protein anti-silencing function 1 (Asf1) chaperones histones H3/H4 for assembly into nucleosomes every cell cycle as well as during DNA transcription and repair.

Nucleosome-like, Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-Histone Octamer Complexes and the Implication for DNA Double Strand Break Repair. [PDF]
Repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) is key for maintenance of genome integrity. When DSBs are repaired by homologous recombination, DNA ends can undergo extensive processing, producing long stretches of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA).

Histone Octamer Structure Is Altered Early in ISW2 ATP-Dependent Nucleosome Remodeling
Summary: Nucleosomes are the fundamental building blocks of chromatin that regulate DNA access and are composed of histone octamers. ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers like ISW2 regulate chromatin access by translationally moving nucleosomes to different

Points of contact between histone H1 and the histone octamer. [PDF]
The topography of the interaction between histone H1 and the histone octamer has been investigated. Bovine thymus nuclei or enzymatically fragmented chromatin were treated 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, which catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between residues of proteins in electrostatic contact.

A Histone Octamer Blocks Branch Migration of a Holliday Junction [PDF]
The Holliday junction is a key intermediate in genetic recombination. Here, we examine the effect of a nucleosome core on movement of the Holliday junction in vitro by spontaneous branch migration. Histone octamers consisting of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are reconstituted onto DNA duplexes containing an artificial nucleosome-positioning sequence consisting ...

Isolation of the yeast histone octamer. [PDF]
Procedures for the extraction and purification of the yeast histone octamer are described. Either mechanical disruption, yielding chromatin fragments, or spheroplast formation with subsequent nuclear isolation was employed. A hexahistidine tag was inserted in the N-terminal region of histone H2B, permitting resolution of the histone octamer from high ...

Heterogeneous assembly of nascent core histones to form nucleosomal histone octamers in mouse FM3A cells [PDF]
We investigated the assembly of newly synthesized histones into nucleosomal histone octamers using an isopycnic centrifugation analysis of these proteins of mouse FM3A cells that had been labeled by culture with heavy amino acids. Cross‐linked histone octamers or non‐cross‐linked core histones were separated electrophoretically from other proteins on ...

High Energy Radiation-Induced Crosslinking of Histone Octamer Complexes [PDF]
Abstract Calf thymus histone octamer complexes were irradiated in the native state in N2O-saturated dilute aqueous solution (0.5 g/l, pH 9, [NaClO4] = 1-4 mol/1) with 50 or 100 ns pulses of 16 MeV electrons or 60Co-γ-rays. Tim e resolved light scattering measurem ents and optical absorption measurements yielded the following: the ...
