Abstract
Histone variant H2A.Z is a conserved feature of nucleosomes flanking protein-coding genes. Deposition of H2A.Z requires ATP-dependent replacement of nucleosomal H2A by a chromatin remodeler related to the multi-subunit enzyme, yeast SWR1C. How these enzymes use ATP to promote this nucleosome editing reaction remains unclear. Here we use single-molecule and ensemble methodologies to identify three ATP-dependent phases in the H2A.Z deposition reaction. Real-time analysis of single nucleosome remodeling events reveals an initial priming step that occurs after ATP addition that involves a combination of both transient DNA unwrapping from the nucleosome and histone octamer deformations. Priming is followed by rapid loss of histone H2A, which is subsequently released from the H2A.Z nucleosomal product. Surprisingly, rates of both priming and the release of the H2A/H2B dimer are sensitive to ATP concentration. This complex reaction pathway provides multiple opportunities to regulate timely and accurate deposition of H2A.Z at key genomic locations.

Markert J, Zhou K, Luger K. SMARCAD1 is an ATP-dependent histone octamer exchange factor with de novo nucleosome assembly activity. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2021; 7:eabk2380.

Abstract
The adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP)–dependent chromatin remodeler SMARCAD1 acts on nucleosomes during DNA replication, repair, and transcription, but despite its implication in disease, information on its function and biochemical activities is scarce. Chromatin remodelers use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to slide nucleosomes, evict histones, or exchange histone variants. Here, we show that SMARCAD1 transfers the entire histone octamer from one DNA segment to another in an ATP-dependent manner but is also capable of de novo nucleosome assembly from histone octamer because of its ability to simultaneously bind all histones. We present a low-resolution cryo–electron microscopy structure of SMARCAD1 in complex with a nucleosome and show that the adenosine triphosphatase domains engage their substrate unlike any other chromatin remodeler. Our biochemical and structural data provide mechanistic insights into SMARCAD1-induced nucleosome disassembly and reassembly.

Autoinhibitory elements of the Chd1 remodeler block initiation of twist defects by destabilizing the ATPase motor on the nucleosome. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2021; 118:2014498118.

Abstract
Chromatin remodelers are ATP (adenosine triphosphate)-powered motors that reposition nucleosomes throughout eukaryotic chromosomes. Remodelers possess autoinhibitory elements that control the direction of nucleosome sliding, but underlying mechanisms of inhibition have been unclear. Here, we show that autoinhibitory elements of the yeast Chd1 remodeler block nucleosome sliding by preventing initiation of twist defects. We show that two autoinhibitory elements-the chromodomains and bridge-reinforce each other to block sliding when the DNA-binding domain is not bound to entry-side DNA. Our data support a model where the chromodomains and bridge target nucleotide-free and ADP-bound states of the ATPase motor, favoring a partially disengaged state of the ATPase motor on the nucleosome. By bypassing distortions of nucleosomal DNA prior to ATP binding, we propose that autoinhibitory elements uncouple the ATP binding/hydrolysis cycle from DNA translocation around the histone core.

Abstract
Genome packaging is a fundamental process in a viral life cycle and a prime target of antiviral drugs. Herpesviruses use an ATP-driven packaging motor/terminase complex to translocate and cleave concatemeric dsDNA into procapsids but its molecular architecture and mechanism are unknown. We report atomic structures of a herpesvirus hexameric terminase complex in both the apo and ADP•BeF3-bound states. Each subunit of the hexameric ring comprises three components-the ATPase/terminase pUL15 and two regulator/fixer proteins, pUL28 and pUL33-unlike bacteriophage terminases. Distal to the nuclease domains, six ATPase domains form a central channel with conserved basic-patches conducive to DNA binding and trans-acting arginine fingers are essential to ATP hydrolysis and sequential DNA translocation. Rearrangement of the nuclease domains mediated by regulatory domains converts DNA translocation mode to cleavage mode. Our structures favor a sequential revolution model for DNA translocation and suggest mechanisms for concerted domain rearrangements leading to DNA cleavage.
