epression (or HBR) domain, which has a significant influence on gene expression, chromatin assembly, and DNA damage formation and repair. However, the molecular mechanism(s) that may account for these observations are limited. In this study, we characterized the stability and dynamics of ΔHBR mutant nucleosome core particles (NCPs) in vitro by restriction enzyme accessibility (REA), FRET, and temperature-induced sliding of histone octamers. Our results indicate that ΔHBR-NCPs are more dynamic, with a larger steady-state fraction of the NCP population occupying the unwrapped state than for WT-NCPs. Additionally, ΔHBR-histone octamers are more susceptible to temperature-induced sliding on DNA than WT histone octamers. Furthermore, we show that the activity of base excision repair enzymes at uracil lesions and single nucleotide gaps is enhanced in a site-specific manner in ΔHBR-NCPs. This enhanced activity correlates well with regions exhibiting increased DNA unwrapping. Finally, removal of the HBR domain is not sufficient to completely alleviate the structural constraints imposed by histone octamers on the activity of base excision repair enzymes.
