Analyses of Promoter , Enhancer, and Nucleosome Organization in Mammalian Cells by MNase-Seq
MNase-Seq is a genome-wide procedure that allows map** of DNA associated to nucleosomes following micrococcal nuclease digestion. It is a rapid and... -
Determining the Binding Constant of LANA Protein Fragment with Nucleosome
AbstractOn the surface of the nucleosome, there are many regions for interaction with chromatin proteins, but an acidic patch, a negatively charged...

Position Effect Variegation: Role of the Local Chromatin Context in Gene Expression Regulation
AbstractPosition effect variegation (PEV) is a phenomenon wherein the expression level of a gene strongly depends on its genomic position. PEV can be...

The structure of a virus-encoded nucleosome
Certain large DNA viruses, including those in the Marseilleviridae family, encode histones. Here we show that fused histone pairs Hβ-Hα and Hδ-Hγ...

Structure of the ISW1a complex bound to the dinucleosome
Nucleosomes are basic repeating units of chromatin and form regularly spaced arrays in cells. Chromatin remodelers alter the positions of nucleosomes...

Picking a nucleosome lock: Sequence- and structure-specific recognition of the nucleosome
The nucleosome presents a formidable barrier to DNA-templated transcription by the RNA polymerase II machinery. Overcoming this transcriptional...

Structural insights into histone exchange by human SRCAP complex
Histone variant H2A.Z is found at promoters and regulates transcription. The ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler SRCAP complex (SRCAP-C) promotes the...

A novel fungal gene regulation system based on inducible VPR-dCas9 and nucleosome map-guided sgRNA positioning
AbstractProgrammable transcriptional regulation is a powerful tool to study gene functions. Current methods to selectively regulate target genes are...

CORENup: a combination of convolutional and recurrent deep neural networks for nucleosome positioning identification
BackgroundNucleosomes wrap the DNA into the nucleus of the Eukaryote cell and regulate its transcription phase. Several studies indicate that...

Histone Dynamics During Transcription: Exchange of H2A/H2B Dimers and H3/H4 Tetramers During Pol II Elongation
Chromatin within eukaryotic cell nuclei accommodates many complex activities that require at least partial disassembly and reassembly of... -
The Roles of Chromatin Remodelling Factors in Replication
Dynamic changes of chromatin structure control DNA-dependent events, including DNA replication. Along with DNA, chromatin organization must be... -
Manipulating chromatin architecture in C. elegans
BackgroundNucleosome-mediated chromatin compaction has a direct effect on the accessibility of trans-acting activators and repressors to DNA targets...
