Histone Acetylation Inhibits RSC and Stabilizes the +1 Nucleosome.


ABSTRACT: The +1 nucleosome of yeast genes, within which reside transcription start sites, is characterized by histone acetylation, by the displacement of an H2A-H2B dimer, and by a persistent association with the RSC chromatin-remodeling complex. Here we demonstrate the interrelationship of these characteristics and the conversion of a nucleosome to the +1 state in vitro. Contrary to expectation, acetylation performs an inhibitory role, preventing the removal of a nucleosome by RSC. Inhibition is due to both enhanced RSC-histone interaction and diminished histone-chaperone interaction. Acetylation does not prevent all RSC activity, because stably bound RSC removes an H2A-H2B dimer on a timescale of seconds in an irreversible manner.
