Insights into how chromatin remodeling factors find their target in the nucleus

PD Varga-Weisz - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Enzymes that use energy gained by ATP-hydrolysis to alter nucleosomes, the building
blocks of chromatin, are involved in all processes occurring on DNA (1, 2). These ATP …

Diversity of operation in ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers

SK Hota, B Bartholomew - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Gene …, 2011 - Elsevier
Chromatin is actively restructured by a group of proteins that belong to the family of ATP-
dependent DNA translocases. These chromatin remodelers can assemble, relocate or …

[PDF][PDF] Epigenetics: More than genetics

A Sala, DFV Corona - 2008 - Taylor & Francis
Chromatin remodeling ATPases are conserved across species from yeast to human and
much of what we know about their function, mechanism of action and regulation comes from …

Reshuffling chromatin: how the human chromatin remodeler PBAF recognizes nucleosomes

S Osman - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2022 - nature.com
The genome is wrapped around octamers of histone proteins forming repeating units called
nucleosomes that resemble beads on a string. These structure chromatin, but also present …

ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors: nucleosome shufflers with many missions

P Varga-Weisz - Oncogene, 2001 - nature.com
This review addresses recent developments in the field of ATP-dependent chromatin
remodeling factors. These factors use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to introduce superhelical …

Distinct strategies to make nucleosomal DNA accessible

HY Fan, X He, RE Kingston, GJ Narlikar - Molecular cell, 2003 - cell.com
One hallmark of ATP-dependent remodeling complexes is the ability to make nucleosomal
DNA accessible to regulatory factors. We have compared two prominent human ATP …

Human ISWI chromatin-remodeling complexes sample nucleosomes via transient binding reactions and become immobilized at active sites

F Erdel, T Schubert, C Marth… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Chromatin remodeling complexes can translocate nucleosomes along the DNA in an ATP-
dependent manner. Here, we studied autofluorescent protein constructs of the human ISWI …

Mechanism (s) of SWI/SNF‐induced nucleosome mobilization

N Liu, A Balliano, JJ Hayes - Chembiochem, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Impediments to DNA access due to assembly of the eukaryotic genome into chromatin are in
part overcome by the activity of ATP‐dependent chromatin‐remodeling complexes. These …

ACF catalyses chromatosome movements in chromatin fibres

VK Maier, M Chioda, D Rhodes, PB Becker - The EMBO journal, 2008 - embopress.org
Nucleosome‐remodelling factors containing the ATPase ISWI, such as ACF, render DNA in
chromatin accessible by promoting the sliding of histone octamers. Although the ATP …

Analysis of individual remodeled nucleosomes reveals decreased histone–DNA contacts created by hSWI/SNF

K Bouazoune, TB Miranda, PA Jones… - Nucleic acids …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Chromatin remodeling enzymes use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to alter histone–DNA
contacts and regulate DNA-based processes in eukaryotes. Whether different subfamilies of …
