Control of human adenovirus type 5 gene expression by cellular Daxx/ATRX chromatin-associated complexes [PDF]
Death domain–associated protein (Daxx) cooperates with X-linked α-thalassaemia retardation syndrome protein (ATRX), a putative member of the sucrose non-fermentable 2 family of ATP-dependent chromatin-remodelling proteins, acting as the core ATPase ...

Chromatin immunoprecipitation: optimization, quantitative analysis and data normalization
Background Chromatin remodeling, histone modifications and other chromatin-related processes play a crucial role in gene regulation. A very useful technique to study these processes is chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP).

Human THO–Sin3A interaction reveals new mechanisms to prevent R-loops that cause genome instability [PDF]
R-loops, formed by co-transcriptional DNA–RNA hybrids and a displaced DNA single strand (ssDNA), fulfill certain positive regulatory roles but are also a source of genomic instability.

From human monocytes to genome-wide binding sites--a protocol for small amounts of blood: monocyte isolation/ChIP-protocol/library amplification/genome wide computational data analysis. [PDF]
Chromatin immunoprecipitation in combination with a genome-wide analysis via high-throughput sequencing is the state of the art method to gain genome-wide representation of histone modification or transcription factor binding profiles. However, chromatin

Titration-based normalization of antibody amount improves consistency of ChIP-seq experiments
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an antibody-based approach that is frequently utilized in chromatin biology and epigenetics. The challenge in experimental variability by unpredictable nature of usable input amounts from samples and undefined ...

Tyrosine dephosphorylation of H2AX modulates apoptosis and survival decisions. [PDF]
Life and death fate decisions allow cells to avoid massive apoptotic death in response to genotoxic stress. Although the regulatory mechanisms and signalling pathways controlling DNA repair and apoptosis are well characterized, the precise molecular ...

A Computational Model of Quantitative Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Analysis
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis is widely used to identify the locations in genomes occupied by transcription factors (TFs). The approach involves chemical cross-linking of DNA with associated proteins, fragmentation of chromatin by ...

MeCP2 interacts with chromosomal microRNAs in brain
Although methyl CpG binding domain protein-2 (MeCP2) is commonly understood to function as a silencing factor at methylated DNA sequences, recent studies also show that MeCP2 can bind unmethylated sequences and coordinate gene activation.

Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 3A protein regulates CDKN2B transcription via interaction with MIZ-1 [PDF]
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 3 family of protein is critical for the EBV-induced primary B-cell growth transformation process. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen we identified 22 novel cellular partners of the EBNA3s. Most importantly, among
