Application

Micrococcal Nuclease can be used for the digestion of chromatin to identify the location of nucleosomes.
Nuclease micrococcal from Staphylococcus aureus has been used in a study to monitor hybridization reactions with DNA. It has also been used in a study to investigate the optimal conditions for assay of staphylococcal nuclease.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hydrolyzes 5′-phosphodiester bonds of DNA.

Numerous chromatin remodeling enzymes position nucleosomes in eukaryotic cells. Aside from these factors, transcription, DNA sequence, and statistical positioning of nucleosomes also shape the nucleosome landscape. The precise contributions of these processes remain unclear due to their functional redundancy in

Gene transcription can be regulated through alteration of chromatin structure, such as changes in nucleosome positioning and histone-modification patterns. Recent development of techniques based on the next-generation sequencing technology has allowed high-resolution analysis of genome-wide distribution of these chromatin features.
