Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Publication Abstract from PubMed Previously, we showed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae Chd1 chromatin remodelling enzyme associates with nucleosomes oriented towards the longer linker (Sundaramoorthy et al., 2018) (1). Here, we report a series of structures of Chd1 bound to nucleosomes during ongoing ATP-dependent repositioning. Combining these with biochemical experiments and existing literature, we propose a model in which Chd1 first associates oriented to sample putative entry DNA. In an ATP-dependent reaction, the enzyme then redistributes to the opposite side of the nucleosome, where it subsequently adopts a conformation productive for DNA translocation. Once this active complex extends the nascent exit linker to approximately 15 bp, it is sensed by the Chd1 DNA binding domain, resulting in conversion to a product-inhibited state. These observations provide a mechanistic basis for the action of a molecular ruler element in nucleosome spacing.
