Uncovering the forces between nucleosomes using DNA origami

open access: yesScience Advances, 2016
Electron microscopy with a DNA origami force spectrometer reveals the energy landscapes for nucleosome-nucleosome interactions. Revealing the energy landscape for nucleosome association may contribute to the understanding of higher-order chromatin ...

The Significance of Circulating Cell-Free DNA Markers in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
(1) Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most serious complication of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Recently, the detection of circulating cell-free (cf) DNA and nucleosomes has found numerous applications in oncology.

Multiplexed, single-molecule, epigenetic analysis of plasma-isolated nucleosomes for cancer diagnostics

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Single-molecule imaging of cell-free nucleosomes detects colorectal cancer with high accuracy and sensitivity. The analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma provides information on pathological processes in the body.

Abstract P-18: PARP1-Induced Structural Rearrangements are Enhanced in Cisplatin-Treated Nucleosomes [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biomedicine, 2019
Background: Cisplatin (Fig. 1) is a low molecular weight platinum-containing compound with a square planar geometry. It is widely used for the treatment of different cancers.

Fine Chromatin-Driven Mechanism of Transcription Interference by Antisense Noncoding Transcription

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Eukaryotic genomes are almost entirely transcribed by RNA polymerase II. Consequently, the transcription of long noncoding RNAs often overlaps with coding gene promoters, triggering potential gene repression through a poorly characterized ...

Breaking the aging epigenetic barrier

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Aging is an inexorable event occurring universally for all organisms characterized by the progressive loss of cell function. However, less is known about the key events occurring inside the nucleus in the process of aging.

An acetylation-mediated chromatin switch governs H3K4 methylation read-write capability

open access: yeseLife, 2023
In nucleosomes, histone N-terminal tails exist in dynamic equilibrium between free/accessible and collapsed/DNA-bound states. The latter state is expected to impact histone N-termini availability to the epigenetic machinery. Notably, H3 tail acetylation (

Histone Modifications, Internucleosome Dynamics, and DNA Stresses: How They Cooperate to “Functionalize” Nucleosomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Tight packaging of DNA in chromatin severely constrains DNA accessibility and dynamics. In contrast, nucleosomes in active chromatin state are highly flexible, can exchange their histones, and are virtually “transparent” to RNA polymerases, which ...
