Stepwise reconstitution of genomic nucleosome organization with pure proteins

ABSTRACT: Nucleosome arrays begin at nucleosome-free promoter regions (NFRs) and regulate gene expression. Reconstituting such organization throughout a genome with purified proteins is a critical challenge in establishing biochemical mechanisms for chromosome assembly. Here we establish a four-step hierarchical building plan for yeast genomic nucleosome organization using only purified components: genomic DNA, histones, site-specific organizing factors Abf1 and Reb1, and the chromatin remodelers RSC, ISW2, INO80, and ISW1a. First, RSC makes NFRs by translating promoter poly(dA:dT) tracts into directional nucleosome removal. Second, +1 nucleosomes are positioned by INO80 at most genes potentially involving DNA shape, or by ISW2 using gene-specific Abf1 and Reb1. Third, INO80 or ISW2 create arrays wi
