Histone mark recognition controls nucleosome translocation via a kinetic proofreading mechanism: Confronting theory and high-throughput experiments
Résumé
Chromatin remodelers are multi-domain enzymatic motor complexes that displace nucleosomes along DNA and hence 'remodel chromatin structure', i.e., they dynamically reorganize nucleosome positions in both gene activation and gene repression. Recently, experimental insights from structural biology methods and remodeling assays have substantially advanced the understanding of these key chromatin components. Here we confront the kinetic proofreading scenario of chromatin remodeling, which proposes a mechanical link between histone residue modifications and the ATP-dependent action of remodelers, with recent experiments. We show that recent high-throughput data on nucleosome libraries assayed with remodelers from the ISWI family are in accord with our earlier predictions of the kinetic proofreading scenario. We make suggestions for new experimentally verifiable predictions of the kinetic proofreading scenarios for remodelers from other families.
