What enzymes are often used to map regions of open chromatin?
Answer: The enzymes which is generally used to map the region of open chromatin is called as Nuclease specially DNase1 and MNase (micrococcal nuclease) .
Explanation: Firstly i like to clear what is chromatin so---
Chromatin = DNA+ Protein means chromatin is the structure where DNA is wrapped around a protein. The protein present here is called as histone protein.
DNase enzyme can act on the DNA strand vigrously irrespective to sequence specificity and can cleave off the DNA strand. When the DNA sequence is bound with protein then in those case there enzymes can not attack the DNA so nuclase DNase 1 is used to cleave the phosphodiester bond between hydroxyl and phosphate group. DNase generally work on SsDNA, DsDNA, as well as in chromatin.
The other type of nuclease is called as micrococcal nuclease(MNase) which is basically acting on single stranded nucleic acid.
Briefly describe three differences between transcriptionally active chromatin regions when compared with other regions of chromatin that are transcriptionally silent.
What enzymes modify chromatin? How might a transcriptional activator recruit factors that modify chromatin? transcriptional repressor?
In your own words, how do chromatin modifications regulate transcription? What modifications are observed in regions of the genome that are being actively transcribed? In regions that are not actively transcribed?
In eukaryotic transcription what is the function of a chromatin remodeling complex? Chromatin remodeling complexes form nucleosome structures at protein-coding regions to lock genes from transcription when they are inactive. Chromatin remodeling complexes clear nucleosomes away from enhancer regions, so that transcription goes at full rate. Chromatin remodeling complexes reform DNA structure after transcription is complete to keep it stable . Chromatin remodeling complexes clear nucleosomes away from promoter regions, so that transcription initiation complexes can form and function.
