Nucleosome structure and repair of N-methylpurines were analyzed at nucleotide resolution in the divergent GAL1-10 genes of intact yeast cells, encompassing their common upstream-activating sequence. In glucose cultures where genes are repressed, nucleosomes with fixed positions exist in regions adjacent to the upstream-activating sequence, and the variability of nucleosome positioning sharply increases with increasing distance from this sequence. Galactose induction causes nucleosome disruption throughout the region analyzed, with those nucleosomes close to the upstream-activating sequence being most striking. In glucose cultures, a strong correlation between N-methylpurine repair and nucleosome positioning was seen in nucleosomes with fixed positions, where slow and fast repair occurred in nucleosome core and linker DNA, respectively. Galactose induction enhanced N-methylpurine repair in both strands of nucleosome core DNA, being most dramatic in the clearly disrupted, fixed nucleosomes. Furthermore, N-methylpurines are repaired primarily by the Mag1-initiated base excision repair pathway, and nucleotide excision repair contributes little to repair of these lesions. Finally, N-methylpurine repair is significantly affected by nearest-neighbor nucleotides, where fast and slow repair occurred in sites between pyrimidines and purines, respectively. These results indicate that nucleosome positioning and DNA sequence significantly modulate Mag1-initiated base excision repair in intact yeast cells.
