Roles of Specialized Chromatin and DNA Structures at Subtelomeres in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Eukaryotes have linear chromosomes with domains called telomeres at both ends. The telomere DNA consists of a simple tandem repeat sequence, and multiple telomere-binding proteins including the shelterin complex maintain chromosome-end structures and ...

Structural insight into glucose repression of the mannitol operon [PDF]
AbstractCarbon catabolite repression is a regulatory mechanism to ensure sequential utilization of carbohydrates and is usually accomplished by repression of genes for the transport and metabolism of less preferred carbon compounds by a more preferred one.

Polycomb repressive complex 2 regulates sexual development in <i>Neurospora crassa</i>. [PDF]
In most branches of the fungal kingdom, sexual development marks a dramatic shift from simple multicellular hyphae to complex fruiting bodies composed of multiple tissues and cell types.

Structure, mechanism, and regulation of polycomb-repressive complex 2 [PDF]
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) methylates lysine 27 in histone H3, a modification associated with epigenetic gene silencing. This complex plays a fundamental role in regulating cellular differentiation and development, and PRC2 overexpression and mutations have been implicated in numerous cancers.

Repression of IS200 transposase synthesis by RNA secondary structures [PDF]
The IS 200 transposase, a 16 kDa polypeptide encoded by the single open reading frame (ORF) of the insertion element, has been identified using an expression system based on T7 RNA polymerase. In wild-type IS 200, two sets of internal inverted repeats that generate RNA secondary structures provide two independent mechanisms for repression of ...

Structural mechanism of HP1α-dependent transcriptional repression and chromatin compaction
Abstract Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) plays a central role in establishing and maintaining constitutive heterochromatin. However, the mechanisms underlying HP1-nucleosome interactions and their contributions to heterochromatin functions remain elusive.

Repressive security and civil society in France
Published: 07 September 2021Counter-terrorism in France is understood, for the purpose of this chapter, as being structured around the three key areas: race, religion and criminality. Upon these three themes, the structures of security within a post 9/11

Structure theorems and the dynamics of nitrogen catabolite repression in yeast [PDF]
By using current biological understanding, a conceptually simple, but mathematically complex, model is proposed for the dynamics of the gene circuit responsible for regulating nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR) in yeast. A variety of mathematical “structure” theorems are described that allow one to determine the asymptotic dynamics of complicated ...

Repressive and non-repressive chromatin at native telomeres in
Background In Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes that are located close to a telomere can become transcriptionally repressed by an epigenetic process known as telomere position effect.

Structural Basis for Retinoic X Receptor Repression on the Tetramer [PDF]
Retinoic X receptor (RXR) is a master nuclear receptor in the processes of cell development and homeostasis. Unliganded RXR exists in an autorepressed tetramer, and agonists can induce RXR dimerization and coactivator recruitment for activation. However, the molecular mechanisms involving the corepressor recruitment and antagonist-mediated repression ...
