Nucleosome Remodeling02:54

Nucleosome Remodeling

11.4K
Nucleosomes are the basic units of chromatin compaction. Each nucleosome consists of the DNA bound tightly around a histone core, which makes the DNA inaccessible to DNA binding proteins such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Hence, the fundamental problem is to ensure access to DNA when appropriate, despite the compact and protective chromatin structure.
Nucleosome remodeling complex
Eukaryotic cells have specialized enzymes called ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling enzymes. These enzymes...

Histone Modification02:32

Histone Modification

16.6K
The histone proteins have a flexible N-terminal tail extending out from the nucleosome. These histone tails are often subjected to post-translational modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. Particular combinations of these modifications form “histone codes” that influence the chromatin folding and tissue-specific gene expression.
Acetylation
The enzyme histone acetyltransferase adds acetyl group to the histones. Another enzyme, histone...

The Nucleosome Core Particle01:12

The Nucleosome Core Particle

2.5K
Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their primary aim is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. On the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access histone-bound DNA during...

The Nucleosome Core Particle

Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications02:25

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications

9.7K
The histone proteins in the nucleosomes are post-translationally modified (PTM) to increase or decrease access to DNA. The commonly observed PTMs are methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination of lysine amino acids in the histone H3 tail region. These histone modifications have specific meaning for the cell. Hence, they are called "histone code". The protein complex involved in histone modification is termed as "reader-writer" complex.

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología estructural
  • Biofísica computacional
  • Genómica

Sus antecedentes:

  • Las partículas del núcleo del nucleosoma (NCP) regulan la accesibilidad del genoma a través de la comunicación alostérica entre histonas y ADN.
  • Comprender estas dinámicas es crucial para descifrar la regulación génica y los mecanismos de las enfermedades.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Cuantificar las correlaciones cinéticas resueltas en el tiempo en sistemas de nucleosomas utilizando simulaciones de dinámica molecular.
  • Desarrollar una biblioteca de Python de código abierto, CONDACT, para analizar la dinámica del nucleosoma.
  • Identificar vías de comunicación alostérica de largo alcance dentro de los NCP.

Principales métodos:

  • Se utilizaron simulaciones de dinámica molecular de larga duración de NCP con secuencias de ADN Widom-601 y ASP.
  • Se desarrolló y aplicó la biblioteca de Python CONDACT (CONDitional ACTivity).
  • Se rastrearon las transiciones de ángulos diedros para identificar residuos con alta memoria dinámica y mapear las vías de comunicación.

Principales resultados:

  • Se identificaron dominios conectados cinéticamente dentro de los NCP, incluyendo subunidades de histonas y ADN.
  • Se mapearon vías de comunicación inter-residuo, revelando acoplamiento dinámico de hasta 7,5 nm.
