5-Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) modulates expression of particular genes associated with cellular differentiation and senescence. Our previous studies have suggested an involvement of chromatin structure in this phenomenon. Here, we examined the effect of 5-bromouracil on nucleosome positioning in vivo using TALS plasmid in yeast cells. This plasmid can stably and precisely be assembled nucleosomes aided by the α2 repressor complex bound to its α2 operator. Insertion of AT-rich sequences into a site near the operator destabilized nucleosome positioning dependent on their length and sequences. Addition of BrdU almost completely disrupted nucleosome positioning through specific AT-tracts. The effective AT-rich sequences migrated faster on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and their mobility was further accelerated by substitution of thymine with 5-bromouracil. Since this property is indicative of a rigid conformation of DNA, our results suggest that 5-bromouracil disrupts nucleosome positioning by inducing A-form-like DNA. 相似文献

5-chlorodeoxyuridine (5-ChldU) and 5-bromodeoxyuridine (5-BrdU) were tested in respect of the formation of specific dicentric chromosomes in cells with micronuclei. It is shown that the frequency of dicentrics is higher when 5-ChldU is used. On the ground of results of this study and of the previous data it is concluded that the activity of halogenated deoxyuridines is falling with molecular weight increasing. 相似文献
