Active Remodeling of Somatic Nuclei in Egg Cytoplasm by the Nucleosomal ATPase ISWI
29 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Cloning by the transplantation of somatic nuclei into unfertilized eggs requires a dramatic remodeling of chromosomal architecture. Many proteins are specifically lost from nuclei, and others are taken up from the egg cytoplasm. Recreating this exchange in vitro, we identified the chromatin-remodeling nucleosomal adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) ISWI as a key molecule in this process. ISWI actively erases the...
