Interaction of mithramycin with chromatin.
Mithramycin (MTR) is an anti-cancer antibiotic that blocks the macromolecular biosynthesis via reversible interaction with DNA template in the presence of bivalent metal ion such as Mg2+. In absence of DNA, mithramycin forms two types of complexes with Mg2+, complex I (with 1:1 stoichiometry in terms of MTR: Mg2+) and complex II (with 1:2 stoichiometry

Untangling chromatin interactions [PDF]
The plant nucleus contains myriad subdomains that define and are defined by the composition of their chromatin. On a whole nucleus scale, this includes regions of active euchromatin and inactive heterochromatin, although the boundaries between these states are blurred.

Insights into HP1a-Chromatin Interactions [PDF]
Understanding the packaging of DNA into chromatin has become a crucial aspect in the study of gene regulatory mechanisms. Heterochromatin establishment and maintenance dynamics have emerged as some of the main features involved in genome stability, cellular development, and diseases. The most extensively studied heterochromatin protein is HP1a.

Interactions of Cisplatin and Daunorubicin at the Chromatin Level [PDF]
Abstract Unexpectedly, the widely used anticancer agents Cisplatin (Cis-Pt) and Daunorubicin (Dauno) exhibited cell type- and concentration-dependent synergy or antagonism in vitro . We attempted to interpret these effects in terms of the changes elicited by the drugs in the

Long-Range Chromatin Interactions [PDF]
To accommodate genomes in the limited space of the cell nucleus and ensure the correct execution of gene expression programs, genomes are packaged in complex fashion in the three-dimensional cell nucleus. As a consequence of the extensive higher-order organization of chromosomes, distantly located genomic regions on the same or distinct chromosomes ...

Cohesin-Mediated Chromatin Interactions and Autoimmunity [PDF]
Proper physiological functioning of any cell type requires ordered chromatin organization. In this context, cohesin complex performs important functions preventing premature separation of sister chromatids after DNA replication. In partnership with CCCTC-binding factor, it ensures insulator activity to organize enhancers and promoters within regulatory

Dynamic chromatin: concerted nucleosome remodelling and acetylation [PDF]
The flexibility of chromatin that enables translation of environmental cues into changes in genome utilisation, relies on a battery of enzymes able to modulate chromatin structure in a highly targeted and regulated manner.

Liquid chromatin Hi-C characterizes compartment-dependent chromatin interaction dynamics. [PDF]
Nuclear compartmentalization of active and inactive chromatin is thought to occur through microphase separation mediated by interactions between loci of similar type. The nature and dynamics of these interactions are not known.
