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.

Male Germline Chromatin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Spermatogenesis requires radical restructuring of germline chromatin at multiple stages, involving coordinated waves of DNA methylation/demethylation, histone modification, and the replacement and removal that occurs before, during, and after meiosis ...

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

Germline chromatin [PDF]

open access: yesWormBook, 2006
The DNA in eukaryotes is wrapped around a histone octamer core, together comprising the main subunit of chromatin, the nucleosome. Modifications of the nucleosomal histones in the genome correlate with the ability or inability of chromatin to form higher order structures, that in turn influence gene activity.

Repressive and non-repressive chromatin at native telomeres in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background In Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes that are located close to a telomere can become transcriptionally repressed by an epigenetic process known as telomere position effect.

Chromatin in Multicolor [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2010
Chromatin consists of DNA and a large number of associated proteins. Filion et al. (2010) provide a genome-wide analysis of the location of 53 chromatin proteins in Drosophila, revealing important principles underlying chromatin regulation and providing colorful insights into their organization.

Identification and validation of transcription factors that regulate chromatin dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Gene expression has to be tightly regulated during all cellular processes. During embryonic development differentiating cells loose their developmental potential and acquire specific functions by activating lineage-specific genes.

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 ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Histone crosstalk directed by H2B ubiquitination is required for chromatin boundary integrity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Genomic maps of chromatin modifications have provided evidence for the partitioning of genomes into domains of distinct chromatin states, which assist coordinated gene regulation.
