Unlocking the chromatin code by deciphering protein–DNA interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Characterizing the composition of protein complexes bound to different genomic loci is essential for advancing our mechanistic understanding of transcriptional regulation. In their recent study, Krijgsveld and colleagues (Rafiee et al, 2016) report ChIP-SICAP, a powerful tool for deciphering the chromatin proteome by combining chromatin immunoprecipitation, selective isolation of chromatin-associated proteins and mass spectrometry.

THE EFFECT OF MECHLOROETHAMIN ON RECONSTITUTED CHROMATIN
In this study the effect of a methylated derivative of nitrogen mustard (mechloroethamin) on solubilized and reconstituted chromatin was investigated using UVNis spectroscopy, DNA and SDS gel electrophoresis and densitomeoic scanning techniques, The results indicated that the 210 and 260 nm absorbances of reconstituted chromatin were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after treatment wit...
متن کاملRoles of Chromatin insulators in gene regulation and diseases
With advances in genetic science, the dynamic structure of eukaryotic genome is considered as basis of gene expression regulation. Long-distance communication between regulatory elements and target promoters is critical and the mechanisms responsible for this connection are just starting to emerge. Chromatin insulators are key determinants of proper gene regulation and precise organization of c...
متن کاملLearning Protein-DNA Interaction Landscapes by Integrating Experimental Data through Computational Models
MOTIVATION Transcriptional regulation is directly enacted by the interactions between DNA and many proteins, including transcription factors (TFs), nucleosomes and polymerases. A critical step in deciphering transcriptional regulation is to infer, and eventually predict, the precise locations of these interactions, along with their strength and frequency. While recent datasets yield great insig...
متن کاملThe Proteomic Investigation of Chromatin Functional Domains Reveals Novel Synergisms among Distinct Heterochromatin Components*
Chromatin is a highly dynamic, well-structured nucleoprotein complex of DNA and proteins that controls virtually all DNA transactions. Chromatin dynamicity is regulated at specific loci by the presence of various associated proteins, histones, post-translational modifications, histone variants, and DNA methylation. Until now the characterization of the proteomic component of chromatin domains h...

ABSTRACT In eukaryote cells, DNA is complexed with a series of basic proteins making units of chromatin structure named nucleosomes. In addition, nonhistone proteins with different function are the components of chromatin. Among these proteins, a group with a low mobility on gel electrophoresis have been identified and named LMG. In this study a LMG protein with a molecular weigh of 160 ...
