Abstract excerpt
We report that under 'transcriptional stress' in budding yeast, when most pol II activity is acutely inhibited, rapid deposition of nucleosomes occurs within genes, particularly at 3' positions. Whereas histone H3K4 trimethylation normally marks 5' ends of highly transcribed genes, under 'transcriptional stress' induced by 6-azauracil (6-AU) and inactivation of pol II, TFIIE or CTD kinases Kin28 and Ctk1, this...
