Condensin-mediated chromosome organization and gene regulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2015
In many organisms sexual fate is determined by a chromosome-based method which entails a difference in sex chromosome-linked gene dosage. Consequently, a gene regulatory mechanism called dosage compensation equalizes X-linked gene expression between the ...

SnapShot: Chromosome organization.

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2022
Chromosomes in higher eukaryotes are folded at different length scales into loop extrusion domains, spatial compartments, and chromosome territories and exhibit interactions with nuclear structures such as the lamina. Microscopic methods can probe this structure by measuring positions of chromosomes in the nuclear space in individual cells, while ...

Organization of the bacterial chromosome [PDF]

open access: goldMicrobiological Reviews, 1990
Recent progress in studies on the bacterial chromosome is summarized. Although the greatest amount of information comes from studies on Escherichia coli, reports on studies of many other bacteria are also included. A compilation of the sizes of chromosomal DNAs as determined by pulsed-field electrophoresis is given, as well as a discussion of factors ...

Nuclear Organization and Chromosome Segregation [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Plant Cell, 1999
The genetic information underlying plant form and function is contained within the cell nucleus in the form of complex, dynamic DNA–protein structures—the chromosomes. The faithful transmission of these structures during mitosis and meiosis requires extensive chromosome reorganization and ...

Extrusion fountains are hallmarks of chromosome organization emerging upon zygotic genome activation

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2023
The first activation of gene expression during development (zygotic genome activation, ZGA) is accompanied by massive changes in chromosome organization. The connection between these two processes remains unknown.

MCMBP promotes the assembly of the MCM2–7 hetero-hexamer to ensure robust DNA replication in human cells

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The MCM2–7 hetero-hexamer is the replicative DNA helicase that plays a central role in eukaryotic DNA replication. In proliferating cells, the expression level of the MCM2–7 hexamer is kept high, which safeguards the integrity of the genome. However, how

Crumpled polymer with loops recapitulates key features of chromosome organization

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
Chromosomes are exceedingly long topologically-constrained polymers compacted in a cell nucleus. We recently suggested that chromosomes are organized into loops by an active process of loop extrusion.
