S1-Type Endonuclease 2 in Dedifferentiating Arabidopsis Protoplasts: Translocation to the Nucleus in Senescing Protoplasts Is Associated with De-Glycosylation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Cell dedifferentiation characterizes the transition of leaf cells to protoplasts and is accompanied by global chromatin decondensation. Here we show that in Arabidopsis, chromocentric chromatin undergoes prompt and gradual decondensation upon ...

Nature Communications, 2019 Amphihelical antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are bactericidal host defense factors, but their function as immunomodulators is emerging. Here the authors show that several AMPs organize DNA into periodic nanocrystals by self-assembling into superhelical ...

The B – A transition in superhelical DNA
Nucleic Acids Research, 1990 Relaxation of a DNA superhelical stress due to the B to A transition induced by trifluoroethanol has been studied by assessing the change of DNA orientation in a flow gradient. Using DNAs of different superhelical densities, a decrease in the winding angle during the B----A shift of DNA was found to be 1.5 degrees per base pair in solution.

Interaction of the Escherichia coli HU Protein with Various Topological Forms of DNA
Biomolecules, 2021 E. coli histone-like protein HU has been shown to interact with different topological forms of DNA. Using radiolabeled HU, we examine the effects of DNA supercoiling on HU–DNA interactions.

eLife, 2019 Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) bind DNA through an array of tandem 34-residue repeats. How TALE repeat domains wrap around DNA, often extending more than 1.5 helical turns, without using external energy is not well understood.
