Function of the upstream activating factor in chromatin structure organization and transcriptional regulation at the yeast ribosomal DNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Chromatin is the template of all processes involved in DNA metabolism in the eukaryotic cell. Accordingly, chromatin is a dynamic structure which changes in its composition and posttranslational modification correlating with the functional state of a ...

Histone methylation by PRC2 is inhibited by active chromatin marks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Chromatin modifiers serve as regulatory switches that control the cell cycle, maintain pluripotency and drive differentiation and development. Positive feedback mechanisms help to pass on transcriptional information from one generation of cells to the ...

Transposable Element Dynamics and Regulation during Zygotic Genome Activation in Mammalian Embryos and Embryonic Stem Cell Model Systems

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2021
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic sequences capable of duplicating and reintegrating at new regions within the genome. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that these elements play important roles in host genome evolution, despite ...

Investigation of the acetic acid stress response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae with mutated H3 residues

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2023
Enhanced levels of acetic acid reduce the activity of yeast strains employed for industrial fermentation-based applications. Therefore, unraveling the genetic factors underlying the regulation of the tolerance and sensitivity of yeast towards acetic acid

Perturbation of chromatin structure globally affects localization and recruitment of splicing factors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Chromatin structure is an important factor in the functional coupling between transcription and mRNA processing, not only by regulating alternative splicing events, but also by contributing to exon recognition during constitutive splicing.

Dynamics of subnuclear chromatin organization during "C. elegans" development : a role for H3K9 methylation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In eukaryotic cells, DNA is packaged into chromatin. This imposes an accessibility barrier to all genetic processes, while at the same time offering the means for tight control.

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase targets SUV4-20-mediated histone H4K20 trimethylation to class-switch recombination sites

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) triggers antibody diversification in B cells by catalysing deamination and subsequently mutating immunoglobulin (Ig) genes. Association of AID with RNA Pol II and occurrence of epigenetic changes during Ig gene

NoRC, a novel chromatin remodeling complex involved in ribosomal RNA gene silencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Regulation of gene expression takes place in the nucleus in a highly structured and condensed nucleoprotein environment, called chromatin (Felsenfeld and Groudine, 2003; Khorasanizadeh, 2004; Vaquero et al., 2003).

Recruitment of Oct4 protein to UV-damaged chromatin in embryonic stem cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND: Oct4 is a specific marker of embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. However, little is known regarding how Oct4 responds to DNA damage. Here, we investigated whether Oct4 recognizes damaged chromatin in mouse ESCs stably expressing GFP-Oct4.

Distinct roles of haspin in stem cell division and male gametogenesis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The kinase haspin phosphorylates histone H3 at threonine-3 (H3T3ph) during mitosis. H3T3ph provides a docking site for the Chromosomal Passenger Complex at the centromere, enabling correction of erratic microtubule-chromosome contacts.
