The RSC chromatin-remodeling complex completely disassembles a nucleosome in the presence of the histone chaperone Nap1 and ATP. Disassembly occurs in a stepwise manner, with the removal of H2A/H2B dimers, followed by the rest of the histones and the release of naked DNA. RSC and related chromatin-remodeling complexes may be responsible for the removal of promoter nucleosomes during transcriptional activation in vivo.
在组蛋白伴侣Nap1和ATP存在的情况下,RSC染色质重塑复合物可完全拆解一个核小体。拆解过程是逐步进行的,先是去除H2A/H2B二聚体,接着是其余组蛋白,最后释放出裸露的DNA。RSC及相关染色质重塑复合物可能负责体内转录激活过程中启动子核小体的去除。
