Imaging reactive oxygen species dynamics in living cells and tissues.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can mediate cellular signal transduction, destroy hazardous foreign pathogens, regulate transcriptional activities and therefore are essential in normal cellular physiology. On the other hand, inadequate control of ROS production can induce peroxidation of essential biomolecules and result in cellular dysfunction. In the worst condition even cell death ensues. Ther...
متن کاملImaging transcription in living cells.
The advent of new technologies for the imaging of living cells has made it possible to determine the properties of transcription, the kinetics of polymerase movement, the association of transcription factors, and the progression of the polymerase on the gene. We report here the current state of the field and the progress necessary to achieve a more complete understanding of the various steps in...
متن کاملMicroprocessor dynamics and interactions at endogenous imprinted C19MC microRNA genes.
Nuclear primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) processing catalyzed by the DGCR8-Drosha (Microprocessor) complex is highly regulated. Little is known, however, about how microRNA biogenesis is spatially organized within the mammalian nucleus. Here, we image for the first time, in living cells and at the level of a single microRNA cluster, the intranuclear distribution of untagged, endogenously-expressed ...
متن کاملTranscription-Associated Compositional Skews in Drosophila Genes
In many organisms, local deviations from Chargaff's second parity rule are observed around replication and transcription start sites and within intron sequences. Here, we use expression data as well as a whole-genome data set of nearly 200 haplotypes to investigate such compositional skews in Drosophila melanogaster genes. We find a positive correlation between compositional skew and gene expre...
متن کاملQuantitative Imaging of Transcription in Living Drosophila Embryos Links Polymerase Activity to Patterning
Spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression are fundamental to every developmental program. The resulting macroscopic domains have been mainly characterized by their levels of gene products. However, the establishment of such patterns results from differences in the dynamics of microscopic events in individual cells such as transcription. It is unclear how these microscopic decisions lead to mac...
