Nucleus and gene regulation [PDF]
At the close of a 1973 meeting on Chromosome Structure and Function, an observer commented that chromosomes resembled “a bad day at a macaroni factory” [1]. But things change. Only a few months later nucleosomes were discovered and within just a few more years it began to be appreciated that the nucleus is organized as functionally distinct domains ...

Background: Viral oncogenes and mutated proto-oncogenes are potent drivers of cancer malignancy. Downstream of the oncogenic trigger are alterations in protein properties that give rise to cellular transformation and the acquisition of malignant cellular

Functional Characteristics of Gene Expression Motifs with Single and Dual Strategies of Regulation [PDF]
Transcriptional regulation by transcription factors and post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs constitute two major modes of regulation of gene expression. While gene expression motifs incorporating solely transcriptional regulation are well investigated, the dynamics of motifs with dual strategies of regulation, i.e., both transcriptional and ...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired through various pathways. Understanding how these pathways are regulated is of great interest for cancer research and optimization of gene editing.

Quantifying the noise in bursty gene expression under regulation by small RNAs [PDF]
Gene expression is a fundamental process in a living system. The small RNAs (sRNAs) is widely observed as a global regulator in gene expression. The inherent nonlinearity in this regulatory process together with the bursty production of messenger RNA (mRNA), sRNA and protein make the exact solution for this stochastic process intractable.

Mechanical determinants of chromatin topology and gene expression
The compaction of linear DNA into micrometer-sized nuclear boundaries involves the establishment of specific three-dimensional (3D) DNA structures complexed with histone proteins that form chromatin.

PLK1 Signaling in Breast Cancer Cells Cooperates with Estrogen Receptor-Dependent Gene Transcription
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a key regulator of cell division and is overexpressed in many types of human cancers. Compared to its well-characterized role in mitosis, little is known about PLK1 functions in interphase.

Regulation-incorporated Gene Expression Network-based Heterogeneity Analysis [PDF]
Gene expression-based heterogeneity analysis has been extensively conducted. In recent studies, it has been shown that network-based analysis, which takes a system perspective and accommodates the interconnections among genes, can be more informative than that based on simpler statistics. Gene expressions are highly regulated. Incorporating regulations

Introduction. The parvoviruses are among the smallest of the DNA animal viruses (Siegl et al., 1985). The genome is a linear single-stranded DNA of approximately 5 kb which is encapsidated in a naked icosahedral virion 20 to 26 nm in diameter. There are two or three capsid proteins which have overlapping amino acid sequences; the larger species have ...
