Chromosome motion is an intrinsic feature of all DNA-based metabolic processes and is a particularly welldocumented response to both DNA damage and repair. By using both biological and polymer physics approaches, many of the contributing factors of chromatin motility have been elucidated. These include the intrinsic properties of chromatin, such as stiffness, as well as the loop modulators condensin and cohesin. Various biological factors such as external tethering to nuclear domains, ATP-dependent processes, and nucleofilaments further impact chromatin motion. DNA damaging agents that induce double-stranded breaks also cause increased chromatin motion that is modulated by recruitment of repair and checkpoint proteins. Approaches that integrate biological experimentation in conjunction with models from polymer physics provide mechanistic insights into the role of chromatin dynamics in biological function. In this review we discuss the polymer models and the effects of both DNA damage and repair on chromatin motion as well as mechanisms that may underlie these effects.
