Statistical positioning of nucleosomes by specific protein-binding to an upstream activating sequence in yeast
Open accessAbstract
Arrays of nucleosomes were positioned with respect to the GAL1-GAL10 intergenic region inserted into Saccharomyces cerevisiae minichromosomes. Deletions of DNA flanking the upstream activation sequence left the array unaltered, showing that nucleosome positioning was not a consequence of sequence-specific histone-DNA interactions but depended on proximity to the galactose-responsive upstream activation sequence (UASG). Replacement of the upstream activation sequence by synthetic oligonucleotides with different protein-binding properties identified a short sequence within this region that is responsible for the ordered array. This sequence overlaps a binding site for GAL4 protein, a positive regulator of transcription, but exerts its effect on chromatin structure independently of GAL4, probably through binding a novel factor that is not GAL-specific.

“(The slight activity of the GAL70 UAS in the absence of GAL4-VP16 may be due to incomplete catabolite repression of endogenous GAL4 function in this yeast strain, or to the recognition of the UAS sequence by other factors [Fedor et al., 1988; Chasman et al., 19901.)”

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.
