Abstract

It has been suggested that chromatin is organized into the stable structures that provide fundamental units of chromosome architecture in interphase mammalian cells. The stable structures of chromatin can be visualized as replication foci when replicating DNA is labeled with thymidine analogs. Previously, we showed that the chromosome territory expanded after BAF53 knockdown. In this study, we found that BAF53 is required for the formation of replication foci. DNA replication was not impaired in BAF53 knockdown cells, suggesting that the decrease in the number of replication foci is due to disintegration of replication foci, but not suppression of DNA replication. The attractive forces that maintain structural integrity of replication foci could be disrupted by BAF53 knockdown, and it may be responsible, at least in part, for the expansion of chromosome territories after BAF53 knockdown.
