Involvement of CTCF-Mediated Chromatin Loop Structure in Transcription of Clustered G1 Genes after Mitosis
In mammalian cells, transcription is globally silenced during mitosis owing to the highly-condensed chromatin. Immediately after mitosis, daughter cells restart the transcription of early G1 genes along the program which is transmitted from parental cells. Although several mechanisms (such as “mitotic gene bookmarking”) have been postulated, the detailed mechanism of transcription of early G1 g...
متن کاملCRISPR-Mediated Epigenome Editing
Mounting evidence has called into question our understanding of the role that the central dogma of molecular biology plays in human pathology. The conventional view that elucidating the mechanisms for translating genes into proteins can account for a panoply of diseases has proven incomplete. Landmark studies point to epigenetics as a missing piece of the puzzle. However, technological limitati...
متن کاملEstrogen Induces Global Reorganization of Chromatin Structure in Human Breast Cancer Cells
In the cell nucleus, each chromosome is confined to a chromosome territory. This spatial organization of chromosomes plays a crucial role in gene regulation and genome stability. An additional level of organization has been discovered at the chromosome scale: the spatial segregation into open and closed chromatins to form two genome-wide compartments. Although considerable progress has been mad...
متن کاملThe Chromatin Structure Differentially Impacts High-Specificity CRISPR-Cas9 Nuclease Strategies
Genome editing technologies based on RNAguided nucleases (RGNs) derived from prokaryotic type II CRISPR-Cas9 adaptive immune systems, such as that from Streptococcus pyogenes and, more recently, Staphylococcus aureus, are becoming increasingly pervasive in both basic and applied research. RGNs are ribonucleoprotein complexes whose sequence-specific guide RNA (gRNA) moieties address a Cas9 nucle...
متن کاملUsing local chromatin structure to improve CRISPR/Cas9 efficiency in zebrafish
Although the CRISPR/Cas9 has been successfully applied in zebrafish, considerable variations in efficiency have been observed for different gRNAs. The workload and cost of zebrafish mutant screening is largely dependent on the mutation rate of injected embryos; therefore, selecting more effective gRNAs is especially important for zebrafish mutant construction. Besides the sequence features, loc...
