The Structure of Chromatin [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1971 The DNA in chromatin of isolated thymus nuclei, and in two different preparations of deoxyribonucleoprotein extracted from chromatin, has been digested with DNase. By variation of the time of reaction and the concentration of enzyme, and by comparison of the action of the enzyme on (protein-free) DNA with its action on DNA complexed with protein in ...

The Texture of Chromatin [PDF]
Cell, 2019 DNA-replication machinery introduces intertwining and supercoiling of DNA strands as it traverses the double helix, which could impede replication and compromise genome stability. A new study in Cell shows that the intrinsic physical properties of chromatin fibers dictate how torsional stress is partitioned to minimize these risks and facilitate DNA ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Scientific ReportsEpigenetic regulation of chromatin structure is a key determinant of transcriptional control and nuclear organization in cancer. Among histone lysine methyltransferases, SUV39H1 and SUV39H2 catalyze the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me3 ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Structural basis of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer recognition by UV-DDB in the nucleosome
Nature CommunicationsIn mammalian global genomic nucleotide excision repair, UV-DDB plays a central role in recognizing DNA lesions, such as 6-4 photoproducts and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, within chromatin.

Stem Cells International, 2018 Accumulating evidences indicate that many tumors rely on subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSCs) with the ability to propagate malignant clones indefinitely and to produce an overt cancer.

Modulation of the functional interfaces between retroviral intasomes and the human nucleosome
mBio, 2023 Infection by retroviruses as HIV-1 requires the stable integration of their genome into the host cells. This process needs the formation of integrase (IN)-viral DNA complexes, called intasomes, and their interaction with the target DNA wrapped around ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

eLife, 2021 In eukaryotes, paused replication forks are prone to collapse, which leads to genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer. Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK)/Hsk1Cdc7 is a conserved replication initiator kinase with conflicting roles in replication stress ...
