Local states of chromatin compaction at transcription start sites control transcription levels
ABSTRACT A defined amount of transcript is produced from transcription start sites (TSSs) of each gene, suggesting that the binding frequency of RNA polymerase varies among genes. However, what structure in chromatin controls this frequency remains elusive. We established a method to fractionate chromatin according to its degree of three-dimensional compaction. Nucleosomes were evenly detected through all of the fractions, but histone H1 was more highly enriched in the more compact chromatin fractions. Similarly, HP1α and MBD2b were more abundant in more compact chromatin, while the levels of tri-methylated H3 (Lys9) and 5-methyl cytosine subtly increased. Via genome-wide analyses, nearly the entire genome was found to exist in compact chromatin without variations between repeat and non-repeat sequences; however, active TSSs were rarely found in compact chromatin. Based on a correlation between weak compaction and RNA polymerase binding at TSSs, it appears that local states of chromatin compaction determine transcription levels..
