Transcriptional silencing: Replication redux
Recent studies indicate that, contrary to long-held belief, DNA replication does not have a direct role in transcriptional silencing, but progression through S phase of the cell cycle is nevertheless required for the establishment of silent chromatin.
متن کاملManaging gene silencing through replication
A solid way to keep cool Refrigeration relies on vapor compression that is noisy, takes up space, and is mechanically complex. Solid-state cooling requires changing an external field to drive cooling, but devices produced so far have not been efficient enough for practical applications. Ma et al. constructed a lightweight and flexible device using a thin electrocaloric polymer film, where toggl...
متن کاملTranscriptional gene silencing in humans
It has been over a decade since the first observation that small non-coding RNAs can functionally modulate epigenetic states in human cells to achieve functional transcriptional gene silencing (TGS). TGS is mechanistically distinct from the RNA interference (RNAi) gene-silencing pathway. TGS can result in long-term stable epigenetic modifications to gene expression that can be passed on to daug...
متن کاملThe multidomain structure of Orc1 p reveals similarity to regulators of DNA replication and transcriptional silencing
The origin recognition complex (ORC) is a six protein assembly that binds S. cerevisiae origins of replication and directs DNA replication throughout the genome and transcriptional silencing at the yeast mating-type loci. Here we report the cloning of the genes encoding the 120 kDa (ORC1), 62 kDa (ORC3), and 56 kDa (ORC4) subunits of ORC and the reconstitution of the complete complex after expr...
متن کاملArabidopsis RPA2: A Genetic Link among Transcriptional Gene Silencing, DNA Repair, and DNA Replication
Transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) controls the expression of transposable elements and of endogenous genes containing promoter repeats, and it is associated with increased DNA methylation. TGS-deficient mutants impaired in siRNA accumulation and/or chromatin modification (ago4, bru1, cmt3, dcl3, ddm1, drd1, drm2, fas1, fas2, hda6, hog1, met1, mom1, nrpd1a, nrpd1b, nrpd2a, rdr2, suvh2, and su...
