Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Linker histone H1 represses H3 tail acetylation induced by H4 tail acetylation and alters its dynamics

Communications Biology
The nucleosome is the fundamental chromatin unit, containing two copies of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 wrapped by ~ 146 bp of core DNA plus linker DNA; addition of linker histone H1 forms a chromatosome.

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

The nuclear pore complex : its role in chromatin structure and RNA export [PDF]

, 2015
Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is a relatively new and rapidly developing research field. It studies the mechanisms of regulation of gene expression, which although heritable, occur independently of changes in the DNA sequence and certainly aid

Natural Products as Geroprotective Modulators in Diabetic Nephropathy: A Mechanistic Framework Integrating Aging Hallmarks and the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 Axis

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Natural products target the aging kidney in diabetic nephropathy by restoring the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 axis, reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular senescence while enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defenses.

RNA polymerase II promotes the organization of chromatin following DNA replication

EMBO Reports
Understanding how chromatin organisation is duplicated on the two daughter strands is a central question in epigenetics. In mammals, following the passage of the replisome, nucleosomes lose their defined positioning and transcription contributes to their

Live-cell visualisation of chromatin for the study of radiation-induced chromosome aberrations

, 2011
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Chromosomes can be visualised during the metaphase stage of the cell cycle however, there are various limitations associated with the visualisation of ...

Transcriptional gene silencing mutants in "Arabidopsis thaliana" and their impact on nuclear architecture and heterochromatin organization [PDF]

, 2004
The epigenetic regulation of gene expression is defined by covalent modifications of DNA and histone tails as well as by chromatin structure and nuclear architecture.
