A Key Role for Chd1 in Histone H3 Dynamics at the 3' Ends of Long Genes in Yeast (gene expression)

ABSTRACT: Chd proteins are ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes implicated in biological functions from transcriptional elongation to control of pluripotency. Here, we examine roles of Chd1 in replication- independent dynamics of histone H3 in yeast. Using genome-wide ChIP on chip analysis, we find that Chd1 influences histone turnover at the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y and 3M-bM-^@M-^Y ends of genes, accelerating H3 replacement at the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y ends of genes while protecting the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y ends of genes from excessive H3 turnover. Although consistent with a direct role for Chd1 in exchange, these results may indicate that Chd1 stabilizes nucleosomes perturbed by transcription. Curiously, we observe a strong effect of gene length on Chd1M-bM-^@M-^Ys effects on H3 turnover. Finally, we show that Chd1 al
