Abstract

SUMMARY ISWI-family enzymes remodel chromatin by sliding nucleosomes along DNA, but the nucleosome translocation mechanism remains unclear. Here we use single-molecule FRET to probe nucleosome translocation by ISWI-family remodelers. Distinct ISWI-family members translocate nucleosomes with a similar stepping pattern maintained by the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Nucleosome remodeling begins with a 7-bp step of DNA translocation followed by 3-bp subsequent steps towards the exit side of nucleosomes. These multi-bp, compound steps are comprised of 1-bp substeps. DNA movement on the entry side of the nucleosome occurs only after 7 bp of exit-side translocation and each entry-side step draws in a 3-bp equivalent of DNA that allows three additional base pairs to be moved to the exit side. Our results suggest a remodeling mechanism with precise coordination at different nucleosomal sites featuring DNA translocation towards the exit side in 1-bp steps preceding multi-bp steps of DNA movement on the entry side.

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.
