Investigate the function of NDF in chromatin dynamics and gene expression
Project Summary/Abstract Our current understanding of chromatin transcription has been limited by our knowledge of the factors that are involved in this process. In this regard, we have identified a novel nucleosome destabilization factor, termed NDF, that can destabilize nucleosomes and facilitate transcription elongation through nucleosomes. In this proposal, we will investigate the function of NDF in chromatin dynamics and RNA Polymerase II transcription elongation using biochemistry, genomics, bioinformatics and structural biology approaches. In Specific Aim 1, we will develop and employ new methods and strategies to study the molecular mechanism of NDF-mediated nucleosome…
