How repair is initiated in chromatin remains largely unknown. We recently demonstrated that global genome¨Cnucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) in chromatin is organized into domains in relation to open reading frames. Here, we define these domains, identifying the genomic locations from which repair is initiated. By examining DNA damage¨Cinduced changes in the linear structure of nucleosomes at these sites, we demonstrate how chromatin remodeling is initiated during GG-NER. In undamaged cells, we show that the GG-NER complex occupies chromatin, establishing the nucleosome structure at these genomic locations, which we refer to as GG-NER complex binding sites (GCBSs). We demonstrate that these sites are frequently located at genomic boundaries that delineate chromosomally interacting domains (CIDs). These boundaries define domains of higher-order nucleosome¨Cnucleosome interaction. We demonstrate that initiation of GG-NER in chromatin is accompanied by the disruption of dynamic nucleosomes that flank GCBSs by the GG-NER complex %U https://genome.cshlp.org/content/29/1/74.abstract
