Here, we show the relations between chromatin structure and transcriptional activity of this gene in vivo. Analysis of the SNR6 locus by micrococcal nuclease digestion showed a protection of the TATA box, nuclease-sensitive sites around the A and B blocks, and arrays of positioned nucleosomes in the flanking regions. Analysis of a transcriptionally silent SNR6 mutant containing a 2-bp deletion in the B block showed a loss of TATA-protection and rearrangement or destabilization of nucleosomes in the flanking regions. Hence, SNR6 organizes the chromatin structure in the whole region in a manner dependent on its transcriptional state. Transcriptional analysis was performed by use of maxi-gene SNR6 constructs introduced into histone-mutated strains. Chromatin disruption induced by histone H4 depletion stimulated the transcription of promoter-deficient, but not of wild-type SNR6 genes, revealing a competition between the formation of nucleosomes and the assembly of Pol III transcription complexes that was much in favor of transcription factors. On the other hand, amino-terminal mutations in histone H3 or H4 had no effect (H4) or only a moderate stimulatory effect (H3) on the transcription of promoter-deficient SNR6 genes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/gad.9.4.410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,5]],"date-time":"2007-06-05T21:15:46Z","timestamp":1181078146000},"page":"410-422","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Reciprocal interferences between nucleosomal organization and transcriptional activity of the yeast SNR6 gene."],"prefix":"10.1101","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"M C","family":"Marsolier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Livingstone-Zatchej","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Grunstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F","family":"Thoma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Sentenac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"246","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111418205320000_9.4.410.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2689","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1460-2075.1986.tb04552.x","article-title":"Removal of positioned nucleosomes from the yeast PHO5 promoter upon PHO5 induction releases additional upstream activating DNA elements.","volume":"5","year":"1986","journal-title":"EMBO J."},{"key":"2021111418205320000_9.4.410.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"573","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1460-2075.1990.tb08145.x","article-title":"Competition between transcription complex assembly and chromatin assembly on replicating DNA.","volume":"9","year":"1990","journal-title":"EMBO J."},{"key":"2021111418205320000_9.4.410.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.84.24.8768"},{"key":"2021111418205320000_9.4.410.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/yea.320070603"},{"key":"2021111418205320000_9.4.410.5","unstructured":"Boeke, J.D. and S.B.
