Xist RNA antagonizes the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler BRG1 on the inactive X chromosome

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2018
The noncoding RNA Xist recruits silencing factors to the inactive X chromosome (Xi) and facilitates re-organization of Xi structure. Here, we examine the mouse epigenomic landscape of Xi and assess how Xist alters chromatin accessibility.

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...

Ep400 deficiency in Schwann cells causes persistent expression of early developmental regulators and peripheral neuropathy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The Ep400 chromatin remodeler determines genomic distribution of variant histones. In the current study, the authors show that loss of Ep400 in Schwann cells leads to aberrant expression of developmental regulators, and a peripheral neuropathy phenotype.

CHD7 regulates otic lineage specification and hair cell differentiation in human inner ear organoids

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Mutations in the chromatin remodeler CHD7 cause CHARGE syndrome, affecting development of several organs including the inner ear. Here, the authors recapitulated pathogenesis of this disease with human inner ear organoids and found that CHD7 is ...

The ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler Chd1 is recruited by transcription elongation factors and maintains H3K4me3/H3K36me3 domains at actively transcribed and spliced genes

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2017
Chd1 (Chromodomain Helicase DNA Binding Protein 1) is a conserved ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler that maintains the nucleosomal structure of chromatin, but the determinants of its specificity and its impact on gene expression are not well defined.

Dietary polyphenols and chromatin remodeling

open access: yesCritical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2017
Polyphenols are the most abundant phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables, and plant-derived beverages. Recent findings suggest that polyphenols display the ability to reverse adverse epigenetic regulation involved in pathological conditions, such as obesity, metabolic disorder, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and various forms of cancer ...

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

RNA-directed DNA methylation involves co-transcriptional small-RNA-guided slicing of polymerase V transcripts in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Small RNAs regulate chromatin modifications such as DNA methylation and gene silencing across eukaryotic genomes. In plants, RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) requires 24-nucleotide small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that bind to ARGONAUTE 4 (AGO4) and ...

Chromatin remodeling and cancer, part II: ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Molecular Medicine, 2007
Connections between perturbations that lie outside of our genome, that is, epigenetic alternations, and tumorigenesis have become increasingly apparent. Dynamic chromatin remodeling of the fundamental nucleosomal structure (covered in this review) or the covalent marks residing in the histone proteins that make up this structure (covered previously in ...
