DNA accessibility is not the primary determinant of chromatin-mediated gene regulation (yeast II)

Project description:DNA accessibility is thought to be of major importance in regulating gene expression. We test this hypothesis using a restriction enzyme as a probe of chromatin structure and as a proxy for transcription factors. We measured the digestion rate and the fraction of accessible DNA at all genomic AluI sites in budding yeast and mouse liver nuclei. Hepatocyte DNA is more accessible than yeast DNA, consistent with longer linkers between nucleosomes, and indicating that DNA accessibility is primarily determined by nucleosome spacing. Remarkably, AluI sites in inactive mouse promoters are accessible in some cells. Furthermore, euchromatin and heterochromatin have very similar accessibilities. Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in DNA accessibility has implications for chromatin models of gene regulation: a transcription factor binding site is blocked in some cells, but not in all cells, guaranteeing neither activation nor repression.

Intrinsic histone-DNA interactions and low nucleosome density are important for accessibility of promoters in yeast

Project description:In yeast cells, preferential accessibility of the HIS3-PET56 promoter region is determined by a general property of the DNA sequence, not by defined sequence elements. In vivo, this region is largely devoid of nucleosomes, and accessibility is directly related to reduced histone density. The HIS3-PET56 and DED1 promoter regions associate poorly with histones in vitro, indicating that intrinsic nucleosome positioning and stability is a major determinant of preferential accessibility. Specific and genome-wide analyses indicate that low nucleosome density is a very common feature of yeast promoter regions that correlates poorly with transcriptional activation. Thus, the yeast genome is organized into structurally distinct promoter and non-promoter regions, whose DNA sequences inherently differ with respect to nucleosome formation. This organization ensures that transcription factors bind preferentially to appropriate sites in promoters, rather than to the excess of irrelevant sites in non-promoter regions. Keywords: other
