Partitioned usage of chromatin remodelers by nucleosome-displacing factors.

ABSTRACT: Nucleosome-displacing-factors (NDFs) in yeast, similar to pioneer factors in higher eukaryotes, can open closed chromatin and generate nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs). NDRs in yeast are also affected by ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers (CRs). However, how NDFs and CRs coordinate in nucleosome invasion and NDR formation is still unclear. Here, we design a high-throughput method to systematically study the interplay between NDFs and CRs. By combining an integrated synthetic oligonucleotide library with DNA methyltransferase-based, single-molecule nucleosome mapping, we measure the impact of CRs on NDRs generated by individual NDFs. We find that CRs are dispensable for nucleosome invasion by NDFs, and they function downstream of NDF binding to modulate the NDR length. A few CRs show high
