- W1969753422 abstract "Abstract On the basis of recent results a unified view of different aspects of the higher levels in the organization of chromatin in chromosomes is presented. Basic to these forms of organization is the arrangement of DNA in the complex with nucleosomes and recent studies suggest that at least some species of satellite DNA may maintain a fixed DNA sequence relationship to the phasing of nucleosomes. Special proteins such as the high-mobility group (HMG) proteins or other non-histone proteins could serve specific functions in the recognition of satellite DNA sequences. In the presence of histone H1 the 110 A nucleosome fiber formed from the basic string of nucleosomes can be further condensed into a thicker 250–300 A fiber formed by a solenoidal coiling of the 110 A fiber with about 6–8 nucleosomes per turn and the available evidence suggests that these structures are found in mitotic chromosomes as well as other forms of inactive chromatin. A further level of coiling of the 250–300 A solenoid has been suggested by our recent studies of disintegrated mitotic chromosomes consisting of a thin-walled tube with an outer diameter of 4000 A referred to as the unit fiber. This structure would account for a factor of 1400 × contraction of DNA in mitotic chromosomes which in their intact state are only 5-fold more contracted. The recently described “scaffold” proteins could be responsible for this final coiling of the unit fibers in intact chromosomes. Meiotic chromosomes are generally less contracted than mitotic chromosomes. An extreme example of this are lampbrush chromosomes that apart from the axial segments which might contain some structural proteins appear to consist of naked DNA arranged in lateral loops. In the later stages of meiosis more condensed structures arise as exemplified by the synaptonemal complex during the pachytene stage in many organisms. The characteristic features of this structure are interpreted to suggest that the structure consists of lateral components containing two parallel 110 A nucleosome fibers each representing the axial segments of two sister chromatids. From these paired regions loops protrude laterally in a manner which closely resembles the less condensed lampbrush chromosomes. The implication of this structure in the process of crossingover is discussed. Less is known about the organization of chromatin in interphase nuclei, but structures analogous to the loop-like structures in meiotic chromosomes are suggested on the basis of the isolation of supercoiled DNA loops constrained by RNA-DNA and protein-DNA interactions. The position of these loops is suggested to be fixed by specific repeated DNA sequences that could be associated with specific tenacious non-histone or HMG proteins." @default.
