Activation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PHO5 gene is accompanied by the disruption of four positioned nucleosomes at the promoter. The chromatin transition requires a DNA-binding protein, Pho4, and its transactivation domain. The mechanism of nucleosome disruption and the contribution of the nucleosomes to PHO5 regulation are reviewed.
酿酒酵母PHO5基因的激活伴随着启动子处四个定位核小体的破坏。染色质转变需要一种DNA结合蛋白Pho4及其反式激活结构域。本文综述了核小体破坏的机制以及核小体对PHO5调控的作用。
