∆ mutants. Based on the known role of Isw1 in the reestablishment of nucleosomal spacing after transcription, we suggest that a defect in this function allows DNA structures to form within repetitive DNA tracts, resulting in inappropriate excision repair and repeat-length changes. These results establish a new function for Isw1 in directly maintaining the chromatin structure at the CAG repeat, thereby limiting expansions that can occur during transcription-coupled excision repair.
