Dynamic regulation of chromatin, a structure consisting of DNA and histone proteins, is mediated through histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and effector proteins. HP1a and PRC2 are recruited to repressive PTMs (H3K9me3, H3K27me3) and enable he ...
We propose a methodology for the study of protein-DNA electrostatic interactions and apply it to clarify the effect of histone tails in nucleosomes. This method can be used to correlate electrostatic interactions to structural and functional features of pr ...
Monobodies, built with the scaffold of the fibronectin type III domain, are among the most well-established synthetic binding proteins. They promote crystallization of challenging molecular systems. They have strong tendency to bind to functional sites and ...
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a crucial role in expanding the protein diversity and are one of the major mechanisms through which cells respond to ever changing environmental cues. The function of two of the most important cellular c ...
Epigenetics plays an important role in cancer development and progression. Cancer cells hijack the epigenome by modifying the histone protein units responsible for packaging DNA, or by modifying the DNA itself, resulting in changes to chromatin topology an ...
In nature, individual histones in the same nucleosome can carry identical (symmetric) or different (asymmetric) post-translational modification (PTM) patterns, increasing the combinatorial complexity. Embryonic stem cells exhibit bivalent nucleosomes, some ...
Targeting defined histone protein sites in chromatin is an emerging therapeutic approach that can potentially be enhanced by allosteric effects within the nucleosome. Here we characterized a novel hetero-bimetallic compound with a design based on a nucleos ...
In eukaryotic cells, DNA is tightly packed in the form chromatin. The basic structure of chromatin is a nucleosome composed of 147 bp DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins; two copies of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. These histone proteins are decorated with pa ...
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) development is driven by the accumulations of multiple genetic, epigenetic, and chromosomal alterations. These lesions can lead to modifications of the chromatin architecture. To identify novel oncogenic interactions driven by mo ...
Eukaryotic DNA is organized in the form of chromatin whose basic unit is the nucleosome. The four core histones forming the nucleosome, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 can be highly post-translationally modified, especially on their N-terminal tail protruding from the ...
