Early programming of the oocyte epigenome temporally controls late prophase I transcription and chromatin remodelling

Nature Communications, 2016
Meiotically arrested oocytes retain transcriptional ability despite chromosome condensation. Here, the authors show that Drosophilaoocytes regulate meiotic transcription and chromatin remodelling through the programming, in early oogenesis, of an ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Emerging Roles for Transcription Factors During Mitosis

Cells
The genome is dynamically reorganized, partitioned, and divided during mitosis. Despite their role in organizing interphase chromatin, transcription factors were largely believed to be mitotic spectators evicted from chromatin during mitosis, only able ...

Multistep assembly of DNA condensation clusters by SMC

Nature Communications, 2016
The Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) proteins are essential for chromosome condensation, cohesion and DNA repair. Here the authors use single molecule imaging to visualise how Bacillus subtilisSMC interacts with and condenses DNA.

Identification of Candidate Casein Kinase 2 Substrates in Mitosis by Quantitative Phosphoproteomics

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2017
Protein phosphorylation is a crucial regulatory mechanism that controls many aspects of cellular signaling. Casein kinase 2 (CK2), a constitutively expressed and active kinase, plays key roles in an array of cellular events including transcription and ...

Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (A. sagrei)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in ...

Mosaic activation of the zebrafish hsp70l heat shock promoter: Implications for interpreting transgenes

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The promoters and enhancers of heat shock genes, such as the 1.5‐kb promoter of the zebrafish hsp70l gene, are valuable tools for temporal activation of transgenes. It has been widely purported that heat shock treatments result in ubiquitous expression of hsp70l‐driven transgenes.

Generation and analysis of mouse embryonic stem cells with knockout of the Mcph1 (microcephalin) gene

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
Chromatin is not randomly distributed within the nucleus, but organized in a three-dimensional structure that plays a critical role in genome functions.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...
