| Title |
Intrinsic histone-DNA interactions are not the major determinant of nucleosome positions in vivo |
| Organisms |
Escherichia coli; Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
| Experiment type |
Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
|
| Summary |
We assess the role of intrinsic histone-DNA interactions by mapping nucleosomes assembled in vitro on genomic DNA. Nucleosomes strongly prefer yeast DNA over E. coli DNA, indicating that the yeast genome evolved to favor nucleosome formation. Many yeast promoter and terminator regions intrinsically disfavor nucleosome formation, and nucleosomes assembled in vitro display strong rotational positioning. Nucleosome arrays generated by the ACF assembly factor display fewer nucleosome-free regions, reduced rotational positioning, and less translational positioning than obtained by intrinsic histone-DNA interactions. Importantly, in vitro assembled nucleosomes display only a limited preference for specific translational positions and do not show the pattern observed in vivo. Our results argue against a genomic code for nucleosome positioning, and they suggest that the nucleosomal pattern in coding regions arises primarily from statistical positioning from a barrier near the promoter that involves some aspect of transcriptional initiation by RNA polymerase II.

| Overall design |
This data series consists of two experimental samples, "Nucleosomes assembled on yeast and E. coli DNA by salt dialysis" and "Nucleosomes assembled on yeast and E. coli DNA by ACF" plus one control sample, "Yeast-Ecoli control, sonicated".
