Abstract
Background: Promoters of active genes in eukaryotes are typically depleted of histone proteins. Results: Histone eviction from the induced CHA1 promoter is compromised by mutations in transcription factors, and higher histone occupancy is also seen at constitutively active promoters in such mutants. Conclusion: Preinitiation complex formation promotes reduced histone occupancy at active gene promoters. Significance: Preinitiation complex components participate in chromatin remodeling.
