The ISWI family of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers represses transcription by changing nucleosome positions. ISWI regulates nucleosome positioning by requiring a minimal length of extranucleosomal DNA for moving nucleosomes. ISW2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a member of the ISWI family, has a conserved domain called SLIDE (SANT-like ISWI domain) that binds to extranucleosomal DNA ~19 base pairs from the edge of nucleosomes. Loss of SLIDE binding does not perturb binding of the ATPase domain or the initial movement of DNA inside of nucleosomes. Not only is extranucleosomal DNA required to help recruit ISW2, but also the interactions of the SLIDE domain with extranucleosomal DNA are functionally required to move nucleosomes.

The INO80 chromatin remodeler is a versatile enzyme capable of several functions, including spacing nucleosomes equal distances apart, precise positioning of nucleosomes based on DNA shape/sequence and exchanging histone dimers. Within INO80, the Arp5 subunit plays a central role in INO80 remodeling, evidenced by its interactions with the histone octamer, nucleosomal and extranucleosomal DNA, and its necessity in linking INO80's ATPase activity to nucleosome movement. We find two distinct regions of Arp5 binding near the acidic pocket of nucleosomes.

Article Synopsis
- Chromatin structure plays a crucial role in regulating DNA processes like transcription, replication, and repair, with the human TIP60-EP400 complex (TIP60-C) being integral to this through its unique activities.
- Unlike in yeast, where two separate complexes manage histone exchange and acetylation, humans have these functions combined in the TIP60-C, which has a distinctive three-lobed structure made up of parts similar to the yeast complexes.
- Research shows that the human TIP60-C displays differences in its protein architecture and recruitment to chromatin compared to yeast, suggesting a more flexible, activator-based mechanism for its histone exchange activities.

The INO80 chromatin remodeler is a versatile enzyme capable of several functions, including spacing nucleosomes equal distances apart, precise positioning of nucleosomes based on DNA shape/sequence and exchanging histone dimers. Within INO80, the Arp5 subunit plays a central role in INO80 remodeling, evidenced by its interactions with the histone octamer, nucleosomal and extranucleosomal DNA, and its necessity in linking INO80's ATPase activity to nucleosome movement. Our investigation reveals that the grappler domain of Arp5 interacts with the acidic pocket of nucleosomes through two distinct mechanisms: an arginine anchor or a hydrophobic/acidic patch.

This unique property of INO80 was thought to account for its singular role in nucleosome placement at gene promoters in a DNA-sequence dependent manner that is crucial for transcription regulation. Now, we uncover INO80 functions differently than previously thought with its ATPase domain translocating on DNA close to the center of nucleosomes, like other remodelers.

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cryptic transcription at the coding region is prevented by the activity of Sin3 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex Rpd3S, which is carried by the transcribing RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) to deacetylate and stabilize chromatin. Despite its fundamental importance, the mechanisms by which Rpd3S deacetylates nucleosomes and regulates chromatin dynamics remain elusive. Here, we determined several cryo-EM structures of Rpd3S in complex with nucleosome core particles (NCPs), including the H3/H4 deacetylation states, the alternative deacetylation state, the linker tightening state, and a state in which Rpd3S co-exists with the Hho1 linker histone on NCP.
