Abstract
The translational positions of nucleosomes in the promoter region of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) were defined at high resolution. Nucleosome boundaries were determined in primer extension assays using full-length single-stranded mononucleosomal DNA prepared from cells treated with formaldehyde, a reversible protein-DNA cross-linking agent. Multiple boundaries were observed in both the nucleosome A (Nuc-A) and Nuc-B region of the promoter, indicating multiple nucleosome translational frames. The different nucleosome frames in both the Nuc-A and Nuc-B regions were occupied unequally. The most frequently occupied frames were found clustered within 50-60 bases of each other, resulting in a distribution centered in the positions defined previously at low resolution for Nuc-A and Nuc-B. The most abundant 5' ends of the frames in the B region were found between -235 and -187, and the 3' ends between -86 and -36, whereas in the A region the most abundant 5' ends were between -22 and +42, and the 3' ends between +121 and +186. Although frames in the Nuc-B region of the LTR extend at a low frequency in the 5' direction toward the Nuc-C region, there is a sharp discontinuity in the 3' direction toward Nuc-A, suggesting the presence of a boundary constraint in the A-B linker. The positions and relative occupancies of nucleosome frames, in either the B or the A region, did not change when the promoter was activated with dexamethasone.
