A two-state activation mechanism controls the histone methyltransferase Suv39h1

Specialized chromatin domains contribute to nuclear organization and regulation of gene expression. Gene-poor regions are di- and trimethylated at lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me2 and H3K9me3) by the histone methyltransferase Suv39h1. This enzyme harnesses ...

On the statistical physics of chains and rods, with application to multi-scale sequence-dependent DNA modelling

Alexandre Emmanuel Grandchamp

The complex mechanisms involved in cellular processes have been increasingly understood this past century and the central role of the DNA molecule has been recognized. The base pair sequence along a DNA fragment is observed not only to encode the genomic i ...

Chromosome Organization and Replisome Dynamics in Mycobacterium smegmatis

John McKinney, Isabella Santi

Subcellular organization of the bacterial nucleoid and spatiotemporal dynamics of DNA replication and segregation have been studied intensively, but the functional link between these processes remains poorly understood. Here we use quantitative time-lapse ...

Functional Perturbation of the Gab2 Multiprotein Complex by High-affinity SH2-binding Monobodies in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Emel Basak Gencer Akçok

Chronic myeloid leukemia is characterized by a reciprocal chromosomal translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, resulting in the expression of the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein. Despite the great improvement in patient survival using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI ...

Generating photocurrent by nanocomposites based on photosynthetic reaction centre protein

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Klara Hernadi, Emil Nyerki

An optoelectronic device, which converts light energy to electric potential, was designed and fabricated by using photosynthetic reaction centre (RC) proteins of purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides R-26, based on the structure and function of the dye ...

Carbon nanotubes quench singlet oxygen generated by photosynthetic reaction centers

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath, Klara Hernadi, Krisztina Nagy

Photosensitizers may convert molecular oxygen into reactive oxygen species (ROS) including, e.g., singlet oxygen (O-1(2)), superoxide anion (O-2(-center dot)), and hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot), chemicals with extremely high cyto- and potential gen ...

Charge stabilization by reaction center protein immobilized to carbon nanotubes functionalized by amine groups and poly(3-thiophene acetic acid) conducting polymer

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath, Klara Hernadi

A large number of studies have indicated recently that photosynthetic reaction center proteins (RC) bind successfully to nanostructures and their functional activity is largely retained. The major goal of current research is to find the most efficient syst ...

Phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 in the Mammalian Brain Is Not Altered by LRRK2 Expression or Pathogenic Mutations

Liliane Glauser, Elpida Tsika, Darren Moore, Klodjan Stafa, Alzbeta Trancikova

Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are a common cause of autosomal dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PD). LRRK2 encodes a multi-domain protein containing GTPase and kinase enzymatic domains. Disease-associated mutations in LRRK ...

Controlled Exchange of Chromosomal Arms Reveals Principles Driving Telomere Interactions in Yeast

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage

The 32 telomeres in the budding yeast genome cluster in three to seven perinuclear foci. Although individual telomeres and telomeric foci are in constant motion, preferential juxtaposition of some telomeres has been scored. To examine the principles that g ...
