nucleosome array spacer activity

ID: GO_0140750

Class

A histone octamer slider activity that spaces nucleosomes along chromosomal DNA. This activity is involved in assembling chromatin in uniform nucleosome arrays to regulate transcription by RNA polymerases I, II, and III, as well as DNA replication, recombination and repair.

In Drosphila, this is mediated by ISWI, in human, by SMARCA5 and in S. cerevisiae by ISW1 and and ISW2.
