Chromatin at the crossroads. Meeting on signalling to chromatin epigenetics.
Introduction In June 2006, about 90 scientists came together at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre in Hinxton (near Cambridge, UK), to attend the first European Science Foundation (ESF)–Wellcome Trust Conference on Signalling to Chromatin Epigenetics. This meeting addressed how cellular processes both signal and respond to chromatin. Chromatin is composed of nucleosomes that each comprise 147...
متن کاملChromatin structure and epigenetics.
In eukaryotic cells, the DNA molecule is found in the form of a nucleoprotein complex named chromatin. The basic unit of the chromatin is the nucleosome, which comprises 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histones (made of two molecules of each H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histones). Each nucleosome is linked to the next by small segments of linker DNA. Most chromatin is further co...
متن کاملChromatin and Epigenetics
Wrapping DNA around protein beads, to form socalled nucleosomes, is an ingenious invention of nature allowing the condensation of an enormous amount of genomic information into a tiny package. The assembly of DNAwith histone proteins, the chromatin, increases genome stability, but it also hinders the access of enzymes needed to transcribe the encoded information. Bliss or burden, the chromatin ...
متن کاملTopical Review on Epigenetics and Chromatin Modifications Epigenetics: Beyond Chromatin Modifications and Complex Genetic Regulation
Chromatin modifications and epigenetics may play important roles in many plant processes, including developmental regulation, responses to environmental stimuli, and local adaptation. Chromatin modifications describe biochemical changes to chromatin state, such as alterations in the specific type or placement of histones, modifications of DNA or histones, or changes in the specific proteins or ...
متن کاملHBO1:JADE1 at the cell cycle chromatin crossroads.
The histone acetyltransferase (HAT) HBO1 participates in diverse molecular processes including transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair.1,2 HBO1 is essential for the development of a number of organisms, its activity is modulated in response to different stresses, and it has been linked to oncogenesis.1 HBO1 is a member of a protein complex that includes the plant homeodomain (PHD) finger...
