Analysis of long-range chromatin contacts, compartments and looping between mouse embryonic stem cells, lens epithelium and lens fibers

Nuclear organization of interphase chromosomes involves individual chromosome territories, “open” and “closed” chromatin compartments, topologically associated domains (TADs) and chromatin loops. The DNA- and ...

The N-terminal dimerization domains of human and Drosophila CTCF have similar functionality

CTCF is highly likely to be the ancestor of proteins that contain large clusters of C2H2 zinc finger domains, and its conservation is observed across most bilaterian organisms. In mammals, CTCF is the primary ...

Transcriptionally active chromatin loops contain both ‘active’ and ‘inactive’ histone modifications that exhibit exclusivity at the level of nucleosome clusters

Chromatin state is thought to impart regulatory function to the underlying DNA sequence. This can be established through histone modifications and chromatin organisation, but exactly how these factors relate t...

Incorporation of the histone variant H2A.Z counteracts gene silencing mediated by H3K27 trimethylation in Fusarium fujikuroi

Fusarium fujikuroi is a pathogen of rice causing diverse disease symptoms such as ‘bakanae’ or stunting, most likely due to the production of various natural products (NPs) during infection. Fusaria have the gene...

TP63–TRIM29 axis regulates enhancer methylation and chromosomal instability in prostate cancer

Prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. High variability in DNA methylation and a high rate of large genomic rearrangements are often observed in PRAD.

Intrafamily heterooligomerization as an emerging mechanism of methyltransferase regulation

Protein and nucleic acid methylation are important biochemical modifications. In addition to their well-established roles in gene regulation, they also regulate cell signaling, metabolism, and translation. Des...
