Post-translational modifications of epigenetic modifier TIP60: their role in cellular functions and cancer [PDF]
TIP60 is a crucial lysine acetyltransferase protein that catalyzes the acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins. This enzyme plays a crucial role in maintaining genomic integrity, by participating in DNA damage repair, ensuring accurate ...

Functional Diversity of Non-Histone Chromosomal Protein HmgB1 [PDF]
The functioning of DNA in the cell nucleus is ensured by a multitude of proteins, whose interactions with DNA as well as with other proteins lead to the formation of a complicated, organized, and quite dynamic system known as chromatin. This review is devoted to the description of properties and structure of the progenitors of the most abundant non ...

The essential role of Drosophila HIRA for de novo assembly of paternal chromatin at fertilization. [PDF]
In many animal species, the sperm DNA is packaged with male germ line--specific chromosomal proteins, including protamines. At fertilization, these non-histone proteins are removed from the decondensing sperm nucleus and replaced with maternally provided

Morphogenesis and organogenesis in the low organisms have been found to be modulated by a number of proteins, and one of such factor, deformed epidermal auto-regulatory factor-1 (DEAF-1) has been initially identified in Drosophila.

Integration host factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, mIHF, compacts DNA by a bending mechanism. [PDF]
The bacterial chromosomal DNA is folded into a compact structure called as 'nucleoid' so that the bacterial genome can be accommodated inside the cell.

Hepatocyte Chromosomal Non‐histone Proteins in Developing Rats [PDF]
Rat hepatocytes taken at different stages of the perinatal period were partially purified. On sodium dodecylsulphate acrylamide electrophoresis chromosomal non‐histone proteins showed important variations in complexity during development. Chromosomal phosvitin kinase strongly increased during the last days of fetal life; it strongly decreased just ...

Model of a DNA-protein complex of the architectural monomeric protein MC1 from Euryarchaea. [PDF]
In Archaea the two major modes of DNA packaging are wrapping by histone proteins or bending by architectural non-histone proteins. To supplement our knowledge about the binding mode of the different DNA-bending proteins observed across the three domains ...

Persistent STAT5 phosphorylation and epigenetic dysregulation of GM-CSF and PGS2/COX2 expression in Type 1 diabetic human monocytes. [PDF]
STAT5 proteins are adaptor proteins for histone acetylation enzymes. Histone acetylation at promoter and enhancer chromosomal regions opens the chromatin and allows access of transcription enzymes to specific genes in rapid response cell signals, such as

Degradation of RNA during lysis of Escherichia coli cells in agarose plugs breaks the chromosome. [PDF]
The nucleoid of Escherichia coli comprises DNA, nucleoid associated proteins (NAPs) and RNA, whose role is unclear. We found that lysing bacterial cells embedded in agarose plugs in the presence of RNases caused massive fragmentation of the chromosomal ...
