摘要: Arrays of regularly spaced nucleosomes directly correlate with closed chromatin structures at silenced loci. The ATP-dependent chromatin-assembly factor (ACF) generates such arrays in vitro and is required for transcriptional silencing vivo. A key unresolved question how ACF 'measures' equal spacing between nucleosomes. We show that senses flanking DNA length transduces information an manner to regulate the rate nucleosome movement. Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer follow movement, we find can rapidly sample on either side a moves longer across faster than shorter DNA. This dynamic equilibrium which having accumulate. Our results indicate characteristic 50- 60-base-pair internucleosomal silent by kinetically discriminating against linker DNAs.
