ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling during mammalian development.
Precise gene expression ensures proper stem and progenitor cell differentiation, lineage commitment and organogenesis during mammalian development. ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to reorganize chromatin and, hence, regulate gene expression. These complexes contain diverse subunits that together provide a multitude of functions, from early emb...
متن کاملEstablishment and Maintenance of Heritable Chromatin in C. elegans
Mounting evidence suggests that environmental exposures in one generation may result in changes in gene expression that are heritable for multiple generations, yet are unaccompanied by genetic mutations. These phenomena are considered to be the result of epigenetic mechanisms, which can establish metastable states of chromatin-based genome architecture that can be passed through the gametes int...
متن کاملEstablishment and maintenance of heritable chromatin structure during early Drosophila embryogenesis
During embryogenesis, the initial chromatin state is established during a period of rapid proliferative activity. We have measured with 3-min time resolution how heritable patterns of chromatin structure are initially established and maintained during the midblastula transition (MBT). We find that regions of accessibility are established sequentially, where enhancers are opened in advance of pr...
متن کاملTelomere length and telomerase activity during oocyte maturation and early embryo development in mammalian species.
Telomeres are located at the ends of all eukaryotic chromosomes and protect them from deleterious events such as inappropriate DNA repair, illegitimate recombination or improper segregation of the chromosomes during mitotic or meiotic divisions. However, telomeres gradually shorten primarily due to successive rounds of genomic DNA replication and also as the result of the adverse effects of oxi...
متن کاملATM Is Required for Telomere Maintenance and Chromosome Stability during Drosophila Development
ATM is a large, multifunctional protein kinase that regulates responses required for surviving DNA damage: including DNA repair, apoptosis, and cell cycle checkpoints. Here, we show that Drosophila ATM function is essential for normal adult development. Extensive, inappropriate apoptosis occurs in proliferating atm mutant tissues, and in clonally derived atm mutant embryos, frequent mitotic def...
