Extrinsic and intrinsic nucleosome positioning signals
Alexandre V. Morozov, Karissa Fortney, Daria A. Gaykalova +3
In eukaryotic genomes, nucleosomes function to compact DNA and to regulate access to it both by simple physical occlusion and by providing the substrate for numerous covalent epige…
Nucleosome Switching
David J. Schwab, Robijn F. Bruinsma, Joseph Rudnick +1
We present a statistical-mechanical analysis of the positioning of nucleosomes along one of the chromosomes of yeast DNA as a function of the strength of the binding potential and…
Biological Consequences of Tightly Bent DNA: The Other Life of a Macromolecular Celebrity
Hernan G. Garcia, Paul Grayson, Lin Han +6
The mechanical properties of DNA play a critical role in many biological functions. For example, DNA packing in viruses involves confining the viral genome in a volume (the viral c…
Mesoscopic modeling for nucleic acid chain dynamics
M. Sales-Pardo, R. Guimera, A. A. Moreira +2
To gain a deeper insight into cellular processes such as transcription and translation, one needs to uncover the mechanisms controlling the configurational changes of nucleic acids…
Polymer reptation and nucleosome repositioning
H. Schiessel, J. Widom, R. F. Bruinsma +1
We consider how beads can diffuse along a chain that wraps them, without becoming displaced from the chain; our proposed mechanism is analogous to the reptation of "stored length"…
