[Abstract]  The orientation of a DNA-binding protein bound on DNA is determinative in directing the assembly of other associated proteins in the complex for enzymatic action. As an example, in a replisome, the orientation of the DNA helicase at the replication fork directs the assembly of the other associated replisome proteins. We have recently determined the orientation of Saccharalobus solfataricus (Sso) Minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase at a DNA fork utilizing a site-specific DNA cleavage and mapping assay. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for site-specific DNA footprinting using 4-azidophenacyl bromide (APB). This method provides a straightforward, biochemical method to reveal the DNA binding orientation of SsoMCM helicase and can be applied to other DNA binding ...

Measuring Nucleosome Assembly Activity in vitro with the Nucleosome Assembly and Quantification (NAQ) Assay

[Abstract]  Nucleosomes organize the eukaryotic genome into chromatin. In cells, nucleosome assembly relies on the activity of histone chaperones, proteins with high binding affinity to histones. At least a subset of histone chaperones promotes histone deposition in vivo. However, it has been challenging to characterize this activity, due to the lack of quantitative assays.

Here we developed a quantitative nucleosome assembly (NAQ) assay to measure the amount of nucleosome formation in vitro. This assay relies on a Micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion step that yields DNA fragments protected by the deposited histone proteins. A subsequent run on the Bioanalyzer machine allows the accurate quantification of the fragments (length and amount), relative to a loading ...
[摘要]  核小体将真核生物基因组组装成染色质。在细胞中,核小体装配依赖于组蛋白分子伴侣的活性,对组蛋白具有高结合亲和力的蛋白。至少有一部分组蛋白伴侣促进组蛋白在体内的沉积。然而,由于缺乏定量分析,鉴定这种活性一直是一个挑战。

在这里,我们开发了一种定量核小体装配(NAQ)测定来测量体外核小体形成的量。该测定依赖于微球菌核酸酶(MNase)。随后在生物分析仪上运行,可以准确量化相对于加样对照的片段(长度和数量)。这使我们能够测量约150bp的DNA长度。该测定最终实现了不同组蛋白分子伴侣的核小体装配活性的表征,这是理解这些蛋白体内功能作用的一个步骤。

【背景】真核生物基因组被组织成核小体。核小体是由组蛋白八聚体核心组成的模块化和动态结构,由147bp的DNA包裹(Luger等人,1997)。核小体组装始于一个(H3-H4)2四聚体沉积到DNA上以形成四体体。随后的H2A-H2B二聚体结合形成六聚体,最后形成核小体。组蛋白高度带电,因为它们以生理盐浓度存在于组蛋白二聚体中。由于它们的作用,组蛋白需要分子伴侣将它们从细胞质穿梭到细胞核,然后辅助它们沉积到DNA上或从DNA上去除(Gurard-Levin等人,2014)。

组蛋白分子伴侣分组在结构上不相关的蛋白质家族中,所有这些蛋白质的特征在于对组蛋白的高度结合亲和力(Laskey等,1978)。通过这种方式,他们屏蔽了组蛋白的电荷,阻止了与DNA和其他细胞因子的非特异性相互作用(Elsässerand ...
