EloA promotes HEL polyploidization upon PMA stimulation through enhanced ERK1/2 activity
Megakaryocytes (MKs) are the unique non-pathological cells that undergo polyploidization in mammals. The polyploid formation is critical for understanding the MK biology, and transcriptional regulation is involved in the differentiation and maturation of

Solid phase chemistry to covalently and reversibly capture thiolated RNA. [PDF]
Here, we describe an approach to enrich newly transcribed RNAs from primary mouse neurons using 4-thiouridine (s4U) metabolic labeling and solid phase chemistry.

ISWI and CHD chromatin remodelers bind promoters but act in gene bodies. [PDF]
ATP-dependent nucleosome remodelers influence genetic processes by altering nucleosome occupancy, positioning, and composition. In vitro, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ISWI and CHD remodelers require ∼30-85 bp of extranucleosomal DNA to reposition nucleosomes,

Binding of transcription factors (TFs) promotes the subsequent recruitment of coactivators and preinitiation complexes to initiate eukaryotic transcription, but this time course is usually not visualized.

Synthetic transcription elongation factors license transcription across repressive chromatin [PDF]
Chemical control of transcription Friedreich's ataxia, a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no effective therapy, is caused by an expansion of intronic repeats and hence a reduced expression of the FXN gene. Erwin et al.

Towards molecular systems biology of gene transcription and regulation [PDF]
Ten years after the determination of the RNA polymerase 11 structure, the basic mechanism of mRNA synthesis during gene transcription is known. In the future, the initiation and regulation of transcription must be studied with a combination of structural

Involvement of Transcription Termination Factor 2 in Mitotic Repression of Transcription Elongation [PDF]
All nuclear transcription is interrupted during mitosis. We examined the role of human TTF2, an RNA polymerase (Pol) I and II termination factor, in mitotic repression of transcription elongation. We find that TTF2 levels rise in the cytoplasm in S and G2 and at the onset of mitosis TTF2 translocates into the nucleus.

Heterogeneity in HIV and cellular transcription profiles in cell line models of latent and productive infection: implications for HIV latency. [PDF]
BackgroundHIV-infected cell lines are widely used to study latent HIV infection, which is considered the main barrier to HIV cure. We hypothesized that these cell lines differ from each other and from cells from HIV-infected individuals in the mechanisms

Coupling of Transcription and Translation in Archaea: Cues From the Bacterial World
The lack of a nucleus is the defining cellular feature of bacteria and archaea. Consequently, transcription and translation are occurring in the same compartment, proceed simultaneously and likely in a coupled fashion.
