RESUMO
Physiologically spaced nucleosome formation in HeLa cell extracts is ATP dependent. ATP hydrolysis is required for chromatin assembly on both linear and covalently closed circular DNA. The link between the phosphorylation state of histones and nucleosome formation has been examined and we demonstrate that in the absence of histone phosphorylation no stable and regularly spaced nucleosomes are formed. Phosphorylated H3 stabilizes the nucleosome core; while phosphorylation of histone H2a is necessary to increase the linker length between nucleosomes from 0 to approximately 45 bp. Histone H1 alone, whether phosphorylated or unphosphorylated, does not increase the nucleosome repeat length in the absence of core histone phosphorylation. Phosphorylations of H1 and H3 correlate with condensation of chromatin. Maximum ATP hydrolysis which is necessary to increase the periodicity of nucleosomes from approximately 150 to approximately 185 bp, not only inhibits H1 and H3 phosphorylation but facilitates their dephosphorylation.
