The imitation switch (ISWI) complex from yeast containing the Isw2 and Itc1 proteins was shown to preferentially slide mononucleosomes with as little as 23 bp of linker DNA from the end to the center of DNA. The contacts of unique residues in the histone fold regions of H4, H2B, and H2A with DNA were determined with base pair resolution before and after chromatin remodeling by a site-specific photochemical cross-linking approach. The path of DNA and the conformation of the histone octamer in the nucleosome remodeled or slid by ISW2 were not altered, because after adjustment for the new translational position, the DNA contacts at specific sites in the histone octamer had not been changed. Maintenance of the canonical nucleosome structure after sliding was also demonstrated by DNA photoaffinity labeling of histone proteins at specific sites within the DNA template. In addition, nucleosomal DNA does not become more accessible during ISW2 remodeling, as assayed by restriction endonuclease cutting. ISW2 was also shown to have the novel capability of counteracting transcriptional activators by sliding nucleosomes through Gal4-VP16 bound initially to linker DNA and displacing the activator from DNA.
