Preparation of Chromatin Fragments From Human Cells for Cryo-EM Analysis

Bio-Protocol
Eukaryotic genomic DNA is packaged into chromatin, which plays a critical role in regulating gene expression by dynamically modulating its higher-order structure.

Dose-dependent alcohol-induced alterations in chromatin structure persist beyond the window of exposure and correlate with fetal alcohol syndrome birth defects

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2015
In recent years, we have come to recognize that a multitude of in utero exposures have the capacity to induce the development of congenital and metabolic defects.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Compositional and structural analysis of selected chromosomal domains from Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

, 2012
In eukaryotic genomes, chromatin is the template of all nuclear processes including transcription, recombination and replication. Besides the wrapping of DNA in nucleosome core particles, eukaryotic chromatin is associated, interpreted and modified by ...

Multiple structures of RNA polymerase II isolated from human nuclei by ChIP-CryoEM analysis

Nature Communications
RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is a central transcription enzyme that exists as multiple forms with or without accessory factors, and transcribes the genomic DNA packaged in chromatin.

Cdt1 stabilizes an open MCM ring for helicase loading

Nature Communications, 2017
The loading and activation of the Mcm2-7 replicative helicase couples cell cycle progression to DNA replication. Here the authors use X-ray crystallography and single-particle electron microscopy to demonstrate how Ctd1 functions to promote MCM loading ...

Modeling population size independent tissue epigenomes by ChIL‐seq with single thin sections

Molecular Systems Biology, 2021
Recent advances in genome‐wide technologies have enabled analyses using small cell numbers of even single cells. However, obtaining tissue epigenomes with cell‐type resolution from large organs and tissues still remains challenging, especially when the ...

Glycolytic metabolism influences global chromatin structure

OncoTarget, 2015
Metabolic rewiring, specifically elevated glycolytic metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. Global chromatin structure regulates gene expression, DNA repair, and also affects cancer progression.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Recruitment of Oct4 protein to UV-damaged chromatin in embryonic stem cells. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Oct4 is a specific marker of embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. However, little is known regarding how Oct4 responds to DNA damage. Here, we investigated whether Oct4 recognizes damaged chromatin in mouse ESCs stably expressing GFP-Oct4.
