Research Abstract

In the eukaryotic nucleus, DNA exists as a nucleoprotein complex termed chromatin. The work is based on the hypothesis that chromatin dynamics and structure are an integral component of the analysis of DNA-dependent processes. Posttranslational histone modifications are important for the regulation of many biological phenomena. In this project, we clafified that a precise role for histone acetylation, namely to alter the structure of nucleosomes and facilitate the loss of H2A-H2B dimmers that have been previously remodeled by the action of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes. We also clarified that transcription from chromatin templates is ordered and sequential, with precise timing and roles for ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling, subsequent histone acetylation and alterations in nucleosome structure. In addition we found that histone H2A is phosphorylated by unique kinase. We found that NHK-1-catalyzed phosphorylation of a conserved serine/threonine residue in H2A is a new component of the histone code which might be related to cell cycle progression.
