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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The recruitment of RNA-Pol-II to the transcription start site (TSS) is an important step in gene regulation in all organisms. Core promoter elements (CPE) are conserved sequence motifs that guide Pol-II to the TSS by interacting with specific transcription ...
Transcription represents a key regulatory step in gene expression and transcription factors (TFs) are the key molecular players of this process. TFs inhibit or promote the assembly of the transcriptional machinery by binding DNA and several co-factors. Whe ...
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 ...

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 ...
Structural differentiation of bacterial chromatin depends on cooperative binding of abundant nucleoid-associated proteins at numerous genomic DNA sites and stabilization of distinct long-range nucleoprotein structures. Histone-like nucleoid-structuring pro ...

Nucleic acid synthesis is spatially organized in many organisms. In bacteria, however, the spatial distribution of transcription remains obscure, owing largely to the diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy (200-300 nm). Here, we use photoactiva ...
