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

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1998
DNA sequences that position nucleosomes are of increasing interest because of their relationship to gene regulation in vivo and because of their utility in studies of nucleosome structure and function in vitro.

Remodeling and Repositioning of Nucleosomes in Nucleosomal Arrays

2018
ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling factors sculpt the nucleosomal landscape of eukaryotic chromatin. They deposit or evict nucleosomes or reposition them along DNA in a process termed nucleosome sliding. Remodeling has traditionally been analyzed using mononucleosomes as a model substrate.

Phylogenomics of the nucleosome

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2003
Histones are best known as the architectural proteins that package the DNA of eukaryotic organisms, forming octameric nucleosome cores that the double helix wraps tightly around. Although histones have traditionally been viewed as slowly evolving scaffold proteins that lack diversification beyond their abundant tail modifications, recent studies have ...

Nucleosome structure

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1978
Electron microscopic and biochemical results are presented supporting the following conclusions: (1) Two molecules of each histone H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 are necessary and sufficient to form a nucleosome with a diameter of 12.5± 1 nm and containing about 200 base pairs of DNA.

Nucleosome assembly

Nature, 1980
Histones and DNA can spontaneously associate to form the nucleosome subunits of eukaryotic chromatin, but two proteins which occur in the eukaryotic nucleus can facilitate nucleosome assembly and greatly extend the conditions which permit assembly to occur.

Nucleosome dynamics

Biochemical Society Symposia, 2006
In the 30 years since the discovery of the nucleosome, our picture of it has come into sharp focus. The recent high-resolution structures have provided a wealth of insight into the function of the nucleosome, but they are inherently static. Our current knowledge of how nucleosomes can be reconfigured dynamically is at a much earlier stage. Here, recent

Structure and dynamics of the yeast SWR1-nucleosome complex

Science, 2018
From DNA unwrapping to histone exchange The yeast SWR1 complex, a member of the INO80 family of nucleosome remodelers, exchanges the H2A-H2B histone dimer for the Htz1 variant–containing dimer.

Dynamic nucleosomes

Chromosome Research, 2006
It is now widely recognized that the packaging of genomic DNA together with core histones, linker histones, and other functional proteins into chromatin profoundly influences nuclear processes such as transcription, replication, repair and recombination. How chromatin structure modulates the expression and maintenance of knowledge encoded in eukaryotic

Spotlight on nucleosomes

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2018
Two new studies in Nature provide insight into the role of nucleosomes in gene regulation. One describes the genome-wide organization of nucleosomes and the other details how transcription factor binding to DNA is affected by the presence of nucleosomes.

Nucleosomes in contact

Science, 2017
Structural Biology In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA must be compacted to fit inside the nucleus. A key player in DNA packaging is the nucleosome, which comprises a segment of DNA wrapped around an octamer of histone proteins. During replication and transcription, nucleosomes must reposition themselves on the DNA.
