Chromatin Remodeling ATPases and Plant Development
ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling is an important facet of the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Assembly of DNA into nucleosomes, the basic unit of chromatin, restricts the accessibility of cisregulatory elements in the core DNA for transcription factors that recognize and bind these sites. Chromatin remodeling ATPases use the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to induce conformati...
متن کاملCell-cell interactions promote mammary epithelial cell differentiation
Mammary epithelium differentiates in a stromal milieu of adipocytes and fibroblasts. To investigate cell-cell interactions that may influence mammary epithelial cell differentiation, we developed a co-culture system of murine mammary epithelium and adipocytes and other fibroblasts. Insofar as caseins are specific molecular markers of mammary epithelial differentiation, rat anti-mouse casein mon...
متن کاملChromatin Remodeling, Cell Proliferation and Cell Death in Valproic Acid-Treated HeLa Cells
BACKGROUND Valproic acid (VPA) is a potent anticonvulsant that inhibits histone deacetylases. Because of this inhibitory action, we investigated whether VPA would affect chromatin supraorganization, mitotic indices and the frequency of chromosome abnormalities and cell death in HeLa cells. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Image analysis was performed by scanning microspectrophotometry for cells...
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...
متن کاملNormal mammary epithelial cells promote carcinoma basement membrane invasion by inducing microtubule-rich protrusions
Recent work suggests that the dissemination of tumor cells may occur in parallel with, and even preceed, tumor growth. The mechanism for this early invasion is largely unknown. Here, we find that mammary epithelial cells (MECs) induce neighboring breast carcinoma cells (BCCs) to cross the basement membrane by secreting soluble laminin. Laminin continuously produced by MECs induce long membrane ...
