摘要

Telomeric chromatin has different features with respect to bulk chromatin, since nucleosomal repeat along the chain is unusually short. We studied the role of telomeric DNA sequences on nucleosomal spacing in a model system. Nucleosomal arrays, assembled on a 1500-bp-long human telomeric DNA and on a DNA fragment containing 8 copies of the 601 strong nucleosome positioning sequence, have been studied at the single molecule level, by atomic force microscopy imaging. Random nucleosome positioning was found in the case of human telomeric DNA. On the contrary, nucleosome positioning on 601 DNA is characterized by preferential positions of nucleosome dyad axis each 200 bp. The AFM-derived nucleosome organization is in satisfactory agreement with that predicted by theoretical modeling, based on sequence-dependent DNA curvature and flexibility. The reported results show that DNA sequence has a main role, not only in mononucleosome thermodynamic stability, but also in the organization of nucleosomal arrays.
