Mitochondrial stress in advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis associated with chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Adaptive mitochondrial mechanisms allow mitochondrial resilience and prevent the worsening of fibrosis, while deregulation of these mechanisms promotes the progression from no/minimal‐mild (F0‐F2) fibrosis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (F3‐F4). Abstract Background and Aims Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes oxidative stress (OS) and alters ...

Entropic Competition between Supercoiled and Torsionally Relaxed Chromatin Fibers Drives Loop Extrusion through Pseudo-Topologically Bound Cohesin

open access: yesBiology, 2021
We propose a model for cohesin-mediated loop extrusion, where the loop extrusion is driven entropically by the energy difference between supercoiled and torsionally relaxed chromatin fibers.

Divergent RNA transcription:A role in promoter unwinding? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
New approaches using biotinylated-psoralen as a probe for investigating DNA structure have revealed new insights into the relationship between DNA supercoiling, transcription and chromatin compaction.

Are TADs supercoiled? [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2018
Topologically associating domains (TADs) are megabase-sized building blocks of interphase chromosomes in higher eukaryotes. TADs are chromosomal regions with increased frequency of internal interactions. On average a pair of loci separated by a given genomic distance contact each other 2-3 times more frequently when they are in the same TAD as compared

DNA Supercoiling Regulates the Motility of Campylobacter jejuni and Is Altered by Growth in the Presence of Chicken Mucus

open access: yesmBio, 2016
Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans, but relatively little is known about the global regulation of virulence factors during infection of chickens or humans.

DNA supercoiling differences in bacteria result from disparate DNA gyrase activation by polyamines.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2020
DNA supercoiling is essential for all living cells because it controls all processes involving DNA. In bacteria, global DNA supercoiling results from the opposing activities of topoisomerase I, which relaxes DNA, and DNA gyrase, which compacts DNA. These

Role of the Discriminator Sequence in the Supercoiling Sensitivity of Bacterial Promoters

open access: yesmSystems, 2021
DNA supercoiling acts as a global transcriptional regulator that contributes to the rapid transcriptional response of bacteria to many environmental changes.

Stochastic Model of Supercoiling-Dependent Transcription [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We propose a stochastic model for gene transcription coupled to DNA supercoiling, where we incorporate the experimental observation that polymerases create supercoiling as they unwind the DNA helix and that these enzymes bind more favorably to regions ...

Women’s contribution in understanding how topoisomerases, supercoiling, and transcription control genome organization

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
One of the biggest paradoxes in biology is that human genome is roughly 2 m long, while the nucleus containing it is almost one million times smaller.

Thermal Shifts Dominate Single-Gene Responses to Transcription-Targeting Antibiotics. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
Thermal shifts reshape bacterial responses to transcription‐targeting antibiotics. In E. coli, temperature can dominate antibiotic‐induced genome‐wide expression, particularly outside 30°C–39°C, through changes in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), nucleoid organization, and drug‐target engagement.
