Genomic targets and molecular partners of the chromatin regulator KAP1

KAP1 is an enigmatic regulatory protein, first described some twenty years ago, shown to be involved in multiple and diverse cellular functions. Specifically, it mediates tasks critical to cell growth and differentiation, pluripotency, apoptosis, gene sile ...

Rhythmic and clock-dependent chromatin loops regulate circadian gene expression

Jérôme Mermet

In mammals the circadian clock drives daily behavioural and physiological changes that resonate with environmental cues, which can be observed, for example, in the intricate timing of rest during the night and activity during the day in humans. The circadi ...

Transcription-induced supercoiling explains formation of self-interacting chromatin domains in S-pombe

Julien Dorier, Yannis Burnier, Fabrizio Benedetti, Andrzej Stasiak

The question of how self-interacting chromatin domains in interphase chromosomes are structured and generated dominates current discussions on eukaryotic chromosomes. Numerical simulations using standard polymer models have been helpful in testing the vali ...

A practical qPCR approach to detect TERRA, the elusive telomeric repeat-containing RNA

Joachim Lingner, Marianna Feretzaki

Telomeres, the heterochromatic structures that protect the ends of the chromosomes, are transcribed into a class of long non-coding RNAs, telomeric repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA), whose transcriptional regulation and functions are not well understood. The ...

Hyperplectonemes: A Higher Order Compact and Dynamic DNA Self-Organization

Giovanni Dietler, Paolo De Los Rios, Giovanni Longo, Fabrizio Benedetti, Aleksandre Japaridze

Bacterial chromosome has a compact structure that dynamically changes its shape in response to bacterial growth rate and growth phase. Determining how chromatin remains accessible to DNA binding proteins, and transcription machinery is crucial to understan ...

Phase specific transcriptional regulation of circadian clock and metabolism in mouse liver

Jonathan Aryeh Sobel

The molecular clock has been conserved from cyanobacteria to mammals and is believed to align behavioral and biochemical processes with the diurnal cycle. This cellular mechanism has been an advantage to increase the fitness of organisms through the abilit ...

GreA and GreB Enhance Expression of Escherichia coil RNA Polymerase Promoters in a Reconstituted Transcription-Translation System

Sebastian Maerkl, Zoe Newell Swank, Henrike Marie Niederholtmeyer

Cell-free environments are becoming viable alternatives for implementing biological networks in synthetic biology. The reconstituted cell-free expression system (PURE) allows characterization of genetic networks under defined conditions but its applicabili ...

Upstream Binding of Idling RNA Polymerase Modulates Transcription Initiation from a Nearby Promoter

Giovanni Dietler, Aleksandre Japaridze

The bacterial gene regulatory regions often demonstrate distinctly organized arrays of RNA polymerase binding sites of illdefined function. Previously we observed a module of closely spaced polymerase binding sites upstream of the canonical promoter of the ...

Evidence for Two Different Regulatory Mechanisms Linking Replication and Segregation of Vibrio cholerae Chromosome II

Melanie Blokesch

Understanding the mechanisms that coordinate replication initiation with subsequent segregation of chromosomes is an important biological problem. Here we report two replication-control mechanisms mediated by a chromosome segregation protein, ParB2, encode ...

Genome-wide mapping of Myc binding and gene regulation in serum-stimulated fibroblasts

The transition from quiescence to proliferation is a key regulatory step that can be induced by serum stimulation in cultured fibroblasts. The transcription factor Myc is directly induced by serum mitogens and drives a secondary gene expression program tha ...
