Transcriptional Activation: Getting a Grip on Condensed Chromatin
نویسنده
چکیده
Chromosomal transcription involves the concerted action of enormous, multisubunit chromatin remodeling complexes. A recent study, however, suggests a different and surprising viewpoint in which these protein assemblies are quite dynamic and individual subunits play key roles in chromatin remodeling.

Chromosomal localization links the SIN3-RPD3 complex to the regulation of chromatin condensation, histone acetylation and gene expression.
Acetylation of core histone N-terminal tails influences chromatin condensation and transcription. To examine how the SIN3-RPD3 deacetylase complex contributes to these events in vivo, we examined binding of SIN3 and RPD3 to Drosophila salivary gland polytene chromosomes. The binding patterns of SIN3 and RPD3 were highly coincident, suggesting that the SIN3-RPD3 complex is the most abundant chro...
متن کاملNuclear Architecture and Epigenetics of Lineage Choice
Differentiation is an epigenetic process which is installed by changes of transcriptional programs over successive cellular divisions. A number of studies have reported the effects of biochemical modifications of chromatin (DNA and chromatin proteins) on the regulation of transcription. Although, these studies are able to explain how transcription of a given gene is regulated (toward activation...
متن کاملI-10: Transcriptomics in Oocyte Mediated Cellular Reprogramming
a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:1707:"Early embryonic development in mammals begins in transcriptional silence with an oocyte-mediated transcriptional reprogramming of parental gametes occurs during a so called across-the-board process of “erase-and-rebuild”. In this process, the parental transcription programs are erased long before (maternal) or soon thereafter (paternal) fertilization to generate a...
متن کاملlncRNA maturation to initiate heterochromatin formation in the nucleolus is required for exit from pluripotency in ESCs.
The open chromatin of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) condenses into repressive heterochromatin as cells exit the pluripotent state. How the 3D genome organization is orchestrated and implicated in pluripotency and lineage specification is not understood. Here, we find that maturation of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) pRNA is required for establishment of heterochromatin at ribosomal RNA genes, th...
متن کاملLarge-scale chromatin structure of inducible genes: transcription on a condensed, linear template
The structure of interphase chromosomes, and in particular the changes in large-scale chromatin structure accompanying transcriptional activation, remain poorly characterized. Here we use light microscopy and in vivo immunogold labeling to directly visualize the interphase chromosome conformation of 1-2 Mbp chromatin domains formed by multi-copy BAC transgenes containing 130-220 kb of genomic D...
