Structural characterisation of chromatin remodelling intermediates supports linker DNA-dependent product inhibition as a mechanism for nucleosome spacing. Elife, 14:-, 2025 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Previously we showed that Chd1 chromatin remodelling enzyme associates with nucleosomes oriented towards the longer linker (Sundaramoorthy et al., 2018) (1). Here we report a series of structures of Chd1 bound to nucleosomes during ongoing ATP-dependent repositioning. Combining these with biochemical experiments and existing literature we propose a model in which Chd1 first associates oriented to sample putative entry DNA. In an ATP-dependent reaction, the enzyme then redistributes to the opposite side of the nucleosome, where it subsequently adopts a conformation productive for DNA translocation. Once this active complex extends nascent exit linker to approximately 15bp, it is sensed by the Chd1 DNA binding domain resulting in conversion to a product inhibited state. These observations provide a mechanistic basis for the action of a molecular ruler element in nucleosome spacing. PubMed: 41439750DOI: 10.1038/nsmb1071 PDB entries with the same primary citation |
