Project description:Hrp3_Purification from Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- Eukaryotic genome is composed of repeating units of nucleosomes to form chromatin arrays. A canonical gene is marked by nucleosome free region (NFR) at its 5’ end followed by uniformly spaced arrays of nucleosomes. In fission yeast we show both biochemically and in vivo that both Hrp1 and Hrp3 are key determinants of uniform spacing of genic arrays.
Project description:We use high-density tiling DNA microarray technology to obtain the specific transcriptome-wide response induced by 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) in the eukaryotic model Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
