The links between chromatin spatial organization and biological function
During the last few years, there has been a rapid increase in our knowledge of how chromatin is organized inside the nucleus. Techniques such as FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) have proved that chromosomes organize themselves in so-called CTs (chromosome territories). In addition, newly developed 3C (chromatin conformation capture) techniques have revealed that certain chromosomal reg...
متن کاملChromatin Remodeling Complexes: The Regulators of Genome Function
Genome in eukaryotes is large enough to be accommodated in tiny nucleus. It is required to achieve high degree of compaction for getting into the nucleus. Compaction is achieved by folding the DNA in the form of chromatin. But chromatin acts as general repressor for the entire genomic functions. Therefore, it requires being selectively unpacked for gene expression. However this packing and unpa...
متن کاملFunction of the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex in DNA replication.
ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes are involved in several nuclear processes. In particular the INO80 remodeling complex is an essential factor during transcription and DNA repair. Recently, several labs have described a novel role for INO80 during DNA replication. Moreover, Falbo et al. have presented evidence linking INO80's activities to the DNA damage tolerance pathways during rep...
متن کاملINO80 and γ-H2AX Interaction Links ATP-Dependent Chromatin Remodeling to DNA Damage Repair
(Shen et al., 2000). However, it is not known whether the INO80 complex functions in DNA damage repair Waltham, Massachusetts 02454 directly or indirectly through other mechanisms. Here, we show biochemical and genetic evidence that the INO80 complex is directly involved in DNA repair. The Summary key mechanism is through a specific interaction between the INO80 complex and the DNA damage-While...
متن کاملThe BRG1 chromatin remodeling enzyme links cancer cell metabolism and proliferation
Cancer cells reprogram cellular metabolism to meet the demands of growth. Identification of the regulatory machinery that regulates cancer-specific metabolic changes may open new avenues for anti-cancer therapeutics. The epigenetic regulator BRG1 is a catalytic ATPase for some mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling enzymes. BRG1 is a well-characterized tumor suppressor in some human cancers, bu...
