В состав комплекса yFACT дрожжей входят субъединицы Spt16 и Pob3, образующие гетеродимер, функционально ассоциированный с негистоновым белком Nhp6. В данной работе методом просвечивающей электронной микроскопии с негативным контрастированием изучали взаимодействие с нуклеосомой в присутствии Nhp6 комплекса yFACT, содержащего субъединицу Pob3 с удаленным С-концевым доменом (CTD, C-Terminal Domain). В результате удаления CTD эффективность связывания yFACT с нуклеосомой снизилась в два раза и способность к полноценному разворачиванию нуклеосом нарушилась: вместо характерных для дикого типа yFACT почти симметричных, полностью развернутых структур наблюдались асимметричные, частично развернутые. Полученные данные свидетельствуют о ключевой роли CTD Pob3 в обеспечении связывания FACT с нуклеосомой, что важно для понимания механизмов ремоделирования хроматина и регуляции транскрипции.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The histone chaperone FACT plays a key role in chromatin reorganization by mediating ATP-in dependent nucleosome unwinding. The yeast yFACT complex consists of the Spt16 and Pob3 subunits, which form a heterodimer functionally associated with the non-histone protein Nhp6. In this study, negative-stain transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate the inter action of the yFACT complex containing the Pob3 subunit with the C-terminal domain (CTD) removed with the nucleosome in the presence of Nhp6. As a result of CTD removal, the efficien cy of FACT binding to the nucleosome decreased by a factor of 2, and the ability to fully unfold the nucleosome was impaired: instead of the almost symmetrical, fully unfolded structures char acteristic of wild type yFACT, asymmetrical, partially unfolded structures were observed. The data obtained indicate the key role of the Pob3 CTD in ensuring FACT binding to the nucle osome, which is important for understanding the mechanisms of chromatin remodeling and transcription regulation.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>шаперон FACT</kwd><kwd>CTD-домен Pob3</kwd><kwd>электронная микроскопия</kwd><kwd>АТФ-независимое разворачивание нуклеосом</kwd><kwd>транскрипция хроматина</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>chaperon FACT</kwd><kwd>CTD domain Pob3</kwd><kwd>electron microscopy</kwd><kwd>ATP-independent nucleosome unfolding</kwd><kwd>chromatin transcription</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена при финансовой поддержке Российского научного фонда (проект № 19-74 30003).</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was supported by the Russian Science Foundation, project no. 19-74-30003.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Gurova K., Chang H.W., Valieva M.E., Sandlesh P., Studitsky V.M.
