Résumé
Trinucleotide repeat sequences (TRSs), consisting of 10 unique classes of repeats in DNA, are members of microsatellites and abundantly and non-randomly distributed in many eukaryotic genomes. The lengths of TRSs are mutable, and the expansions of several TRSs are implicated in hereditary neurological diseases. However, the underlying causes of the biased distribution and the dynamic properties of TRSs in the genome remain elusive. Here, we examined the effects of TRSs on nucleosome formation in vivo by histone H4-S47C site-directed chemical cleavages, using well-defined yeast minichromosomes in which each of the ten TRS classes resided in the central region of a positioned nucleosome. We showed that (AAT)
