Homogeneous reconstituted oligonucleosomes, evidence for salt-dependent folding in the absence of histone H1 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
Using the method of salt dialysis, we have reconstituted histone octamers onto DNA templates consisting of 12 tandem repeats, each containing a fragment of the sea urchin 5S rRNA gene [Simpson, R.T., Thoma, F., & Brubaker, J.M. (1985) Cell 42, 799-808]. In these templates, each sea urchin repeat contains a sequence for preferred nucleosome positioning. Sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium studies in the analytical ultracentrifuge indicate that at molar histone/DNA ratios of 1.0-1.1 extremely homogeneous preparations of fully loaded oligonucleosomes (12 nucleosomes/template) can be regularly obtained. Digestion of the oligonucleosomes with micrococcal nuclease, followed by restriction mapping of purified nucleosome-bound DNA sequences, yields a complicated but consistent pattern of nucleosome positioning. Roughly 50% of the nucleosomes appear to be phased at positions 1-146 of each repeat, while the remainder of the nucleosomes occupy a number of other minor discrete positions along the template that differ by multiples of 10 bp. From sedimentation velocity studies of the oligonucleosomes in 0-0.2 M NaCl, we observe a reversible increase in mean sedimentation coefficient by almost 30%, accompanied by development of heterogeneity in sedimentation. These results, in combination with theoretical predictions, indicate that linear stretches of chromatin in the absence of lysine-rich histones exist in solution in a salt-dependent equilibrium between an extended (low salt) conformation and one or more folded (high salt) structures. In addition, by 100 mM NaCl, salt-dependent dissociation of histone octamers from these linear oligonucleosomes is observed. 相似文献

Isolated nucleoli, nucleolar chromatin, and nucleolar DNA were used as templates for DNA synthesis in appropriately supplemented systems in which RNA polymerases other than RNA polymerase I were blocked by alpha-amanitin. With the aid of nucleotide analysis, DNA-RNA hybridization, and homochromatography fingerprinting, it was found that isolated nucleoli and nucleolar chromatin serve primarily as templates for synthesis of rRNA. However, the products formed with purified nucleolar DNA as a template do not contain the specific rRNA oligonucleotides nor are they appreciably hybridized to the rDNA region on cesium chloride gradients. These results indicate that whole nucleoli and nucleolar chromatin contain control mechanisms that restrict readouts by RNA polymerase I of nucleolar DNA to rDNA. 相似文献
