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.

Distinct roles of haspin in stem cell division and male gametogenesis
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.

Influence of M-phase chromatin on the anisotropy of microtubule asters [PDF]
In many eukaryotic cells going through M-phase, a bipolar spindle is formed by microtubules nucleated from centrosomes. These microtubules, in addition to being "captured" by kinetochores, may be stabilized by chromatin in two different ways: short-range

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

Candida albicans repetitive elements display epigenetic diversity and plasticity [PDF]
Transcriptionally silent heterochromatin is associated with repetitive DNA. It is poorly understood whether and how heterochromatin differs between different organisms and whether its structure can be remodelled in response to environmental signals. Here,

The Texture of Chromatin [PDF]
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 ...

Nuclear CaMKII enhances histone H3 phosphorylation and remodels chromatin during cardiac hypertrophy. [PDF]
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays a central role in pathological cardiac hypertrophy, but the mechanisms by which it modulates gene activity in the nucleus to mediate hypertrophic signaling remain unclear. Here, we report that

Chromatin Alterations in Neurological Disorders and Strategies of (Epi)Genome Rescue
Neurological disorders (NDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of conditions that affect the function of the nervous system. Often incurable, NDs have profound and detrimental consequences on the affected individuals’ lives.
