•A human nucleus is ~5-8 μm in diameter and contains ~ 2 meters of DNA

Nucleosomes
• Most of the interphase chromatin exists as a 30 nm fiber. If this chromatin is unfolded it appears as “beads on a string.”
• The string is the DNA and each bead corresponds to a nucleosome core particle.
• An individual nucleosome core particle consists of a complex of eight histone proteins (2x H2A, H2B, H3, & H4) and ~ 146 bp.
• This shortens the DNA about 1/3 and is the first level of packing.

Consequences of DNA Packaging
• Distortions make it often impossible for gene-specific transcription factors to bind to their target sequences
• Not all DNA sequences can be sufficiently distorted for packaging into nucleosomes– nucleosome-free regions

Chromatin remodeling
Chromatin modifications
Major regulation of chromatin:
![Page 23: Transcription Regulation and Gene Expression in Eukaryotes ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278e3feb24ad866d73f64eb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Chromatin Remodelling
• Replication-dependent– as DNA gets replicated, nucleosomes
dissociate from the DNA to leave regulatory regions free of nucleosomes -> brief ‘window of opportunity’ to establish new chromatin configurations
• Replication-independent– allows genes to be switched on and off
regardless of cell cycle state
![Page 24: Transcription Regulation and Gene Expression in Eukaryotes ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278e3feb24ad866d73f64eb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SWI/SNF and others: Chromatin Remodeling Complexes
• The SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling activity, together with the related RSC, NURD, NURF, Mi-2, and CHRAC complexes, utilizes ATP to alter nucleosomal structure– Each member of the ATP-dependent family of
chromatin remodeling enzymes contains an ATPase subunit that is related to the SWI2/SNF2 subfamily of the DEAD/H box superfamily of nucleic acid-stimulated ATPases
![Page 25: Transcription Regulation and Gene Expression in Eukaryotes ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6278e3feb24ad866d73f64eb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Effects on Gene Expression
• Most SWI/SNF-like enzymes play direct roles in the activation of transcription– In yeast, genes that encode many of the eleven
subunits of the ySWI/SNF complex were initially identified in genetic screens as positive regulators of transcription
• Genome-wide expression analyses have shown that inactivation of ySWI/SNF leads to decreases in steady-state transcription of around 5% of the approximately 6000 yeast genes

HistoneHistone Modifications: Code HypothesisModifications: Code Hypothesis
• As proposed by Allis and Strahl: “that multiple histone modifications, acting in a combinatorial or sequential fashion on one or multiple histone tails, specify unique downstream functions”
