Chromatin Compaction Protects Genomic DNA from Radiation Damage
Genomic DNA is organized three-dimensionally in the nucleus, and is thought to form compact chromatin domains. Although chromatin compaction is known to be essential for mitosis, whether it confers other advantages, particularly in interphase cells, remains unknown. Here, we report that chromatin compaction protects genomic DNA from radiation damage. Using a newly developed solid-phase system, ...
متن کاملVisualization and analysis of unfolded nucleosomes associated with transcribing chromatin.
We have characterized the structure of transcriptionally active nucleosome subunits using electron spectroscopic imaging. Individual nucleosomes were analyzed in terms of total mass, DNA and protein content, while the ensemble of images of active nucleosomes was used to calculate a three-dimensional reconstruction. Transcriptionally active nucleosomes were separated from inactive nucleosomes by...
متن کاملMaking sense of transcribing chromatin
Eukaryotic cells package their genomes into a nucleoprotein form called chromatin. The basic unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, formed by the wrapping of ∼147bp of DNA around an octameric complex of core histones. Advances in genomic technologies have enabled the locations of nucleosomes to be mapped across genomes. This has revealed a striking organisation with respect to transcribed genes i...
متن کاملGenomic Instability and Colon Carcinogenesis: From the Perspective of Genes
Colon cancer is the second most lethal cancer; approximately 600,000 people die of it annually in the world. Colon carcinogenesis generally follows a slow and stepwise process of accumulation of mutations under the influence of environmental and epigenetic factors. To adopt a personalized (tailored) cancer therapy approach and to improve current strategies for prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, ...
متن کاملThe MRN complex
What about gaze as a communicative signal? In contrast to other primates, humans have evolved a large white sclera and marked eyebrows, making the eye region highly conspicuous and ideally suited for gaze following, and it has been argued that this is an evolutionary byproduct of the cooperative nature of humans. Not only can humans follow gaze, but they can also use gaze to actively direct eac...
