Destabilizing Heterochromatin: Does Swi6/HP1 Make the Choice? [PDF]
HP1 is well known as a key silencing protein. However, in the June 9 issue of Molecular Cell, report that Swi6/HP1 recruits an antisilencing protein, Epe1, to facilitate transcription, leading to a model in which Swi6/HP1 is used as a platform to recruit both silencing and antisilencing activities.

Stemness factor Sall4 is required for DNA damage response in embryonic stem cells. [PDF]
Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are genetically more stable than somatic cells, thereby preventing the passage of genomic abnormalities to their derivatives including germ cells. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain largely unclear. In this paper,

Mechanistic Analysis of HP1 heterochromatin assembly
The most conserved form of heterochromatin is characterized by methylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3). Key to both the assembly and the spreading process is the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), which binds the H3K9me3 mark via its chromodomain (CD).

New Partners for HP1 in Transcriptional Gene Silencing [PDF]
A new study in this issue of Molecular Cell (Yamane et al., 2010) demonstrates how chromatin assembly proteins HIRA/Asf1 help enforce transcriptional gene silencing in heterochromatin by bridging interactions between HP1 and histone deacetylase complexes.

Shigella flexneri, a gram-negative bacterium responsible of bacillary dysentery, uses multiple strategies to overcome host immune defense. We have decrypted how this bacterium manipulates host-cell chromatin binders to take control of immune gene ...

Intestinal permeability enhancement of benzopyran HP1-loaded nanoemulsions
The benzopyran HP1, a compound isolated from Hypericum polyanthemum, has demonstrated significant opioid-mediated antinociceptive activity after its oral administration. Despite the pharmacological potential, the poor aqueous solubility limits the oral absorption of this compound.
