Gearing up chromatin

چکیده
D transcription, RNA polymerase may encounter DNA lesions, which causes stalling of transcription. To overcome the RNA polymerase blocking lesions, the transcribed strand is repaired by a dedicated repair mechanism, called transcription coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER). After repair is completed, it is essential that transcription restarts. So far, the regulation and exact molecular mechanism of this transcriptional restart upon genotoxic damage has remained elusive. Recently, three different chromatin remodeling factors, HIRA, FACT, and Dot1L, were identified to stimulate transcription restart after DNA damage. These factors either incorporate new histones or establish specific chromatin marks that will gear up the chromatin to subsequently promote transcription recovery. This adds a new layer to the current model of chromatin remodeling necessary for repair and indicates that this specific form of transcription, i.e., the transcriptional restart upon DNA damage, needs specific chromatin remodeling events.

Unified MPC strategy for idle-speed control, vehicle start-up and gearing applied to an Automated Manual Transmission
A real-time Model Predictive Control (MPC) is proposed for controlling the behavior of an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT). The underlying formulation shows a unified approach that handles different modes: idle-speed control, vehicle start-up, gearing up and down. Sub-optimal solutions are computed on line using an adaptive reduced dimensional parametrization that is directly linked to the a...
