A needed nomenclature for nucleosomes

open access: yesMolecular Cell
Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) are crucial to eukaryotic genome regulation, with a range of reported functions and mechanisms of action. Though often studied individually, it has long been recognized that the modifications function by combinatorial synergy or antagonism.

From Tumour to Bloodstream: Advancing PD‐L1 Testing With Liquid Biopsies in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer

open access: yesCytopathology, EarlyView.
This review explores liquid biopsy as a complementary approach to tissue‐based PD‐L1 assessment in advanced NSCLC treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Focusing on circulating tumour cells, extracellular vesicles, and circulating tumour DNA, it summarises current evidence, technical challenges, and future perspectives for personalised ...

Nucleosomes influence multiple steps during replication initiation

open access: yes, 2017
Eukaryotic replication origin licensing, activation and timing are influenced by chromatin but a mechanistic understanding is lacking. Using reconstituted nucleosomal DNA replication assays, we assessed the impact of nucleosomes on replication initiation.

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Chromatin: Packaging without Nucleosomes

open access: yes, 2012
SummaryDinoflagellates are unique among eukaryotes in their unusual ‘dinokaryons’ — nuclei that lack bulk histones. A new study finds that acquisition of a novel dinoflagellate chromatin protein was an early step in the transition to a nucleus lacking ...

Spatially resolved mapping of histones reveals selective neuronal response in Rett syndrome

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Loss of Mecp2 function is associated with Rett syndrome (RTT). MeCP2 regulates chromatin, yet its influence on histone composition and dynamics is unclear. Combining MALDI‐MSI with LCM–LC–MS/MS, we mapped histone proteoforms across the dentate gyrus, cornu ammonis, and cerebellum in two mouse models of RTT.

Compromised DNA replication in gut cells underlies sensitivity to genotoxic stress in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
DNA damage in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris elicits distinct cellular outcomes depending on replication status. While non‐replicating cells tolerate genotoxic stress, constitutively replicating cells undergo irreversible replication failure upon DNA damage, leading to loss of tissue homeostasis, fat depletion, sterility, and organismal death ...

On the organization of the nucleosomes associated with telomeric sequences

open access: yes, 2010
The functions of telomeres and, probably, of interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs) are influenced by their chromatin structure and organization. Telomeres in higher eukaryotes fold into nucleosomes that are about 20–40 bp shorter than the nucleosomes ...

Chd4 and ThPOK cooperate to preserve structural and electrophysiological integrity of the adult heart through Sprr1a repression

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.

The Split Personality of CENP-A Nucleosomes

open access: yes, 2012
The composition and structure of centromeric nucleosomes, which contain the histone H3 variant CENP-A, is intensely debated. Two independent studies in this issue, in yeast and human cells, now suggest that CENP-A nucleosomes adopt different structures ...
