Review: Chromatin Structural Features and Targets That Regulate Transcription

Open access
Wolffe, Alan P., Guschin, Dmitry·2000·Journal of Structural Biology

Abstract

The nucleosome and chromatin fiber provide the common structural framework for transcriptional control in eukaryotes. The folding of DNA within these structures can both promote and impede transcription dependent on structural context. Importantly, neither the nucleosome nor the chromatin fiber is a static structure. Histone dissociation, histone modification, nucleosome mobility, and assorted allosteric transitions contribute to transcriptional control. Chromatin remodeling is associated with gene activation and repression. Energy-dependent processes mediate the assembly of both activating and repressive proteins into the nucleosomal infrastructure. Recent progress allows the structural consequences of these processes to be visualized at the chromosomal level. DNA and RNA polymerase, SWI/SNF complexes, histone deacetylases, and acetyltransferases are targeted by gene-specific regulators to mediate these structural transitions. The mistargeting of these enzymes contributes to human developmental abnormalities and tumorigenesis. These observations illuminate the roles of chromatin and chromosomal structural biology in human disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
