Chromatin Dynamics in Vivo: A Game of Musical Chairs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Histones are a major component of chromatin, the nucleoprotein complex fundamental to regulating transcription, facilitating cell division, and maintaining genome integrity in almost all eukaryotes. In addition to canonical, replication-dependent histones, replication-independent histone variants exist in most eukaryotes. In recent years, steady progress has been made in understanding how histone variants assemble, their involvement in development, mitosis, transcription, and genome repair. In this review, we will focus on the localization of the major histone variants H3.3, CENP-A, H2A.Z, and macroH2A, as well as how these variants have evolved, their structural differences, and their functional significance in vivo.

متن کاملMusical chairs
In the musical chairs game MC(n,m), a team of n players plays against an adversarial scheduler. The scheduler wins if the game proceeds indefinitely, while termination after a finite number of rounds is declared a win of the team. At each round of the game each player occupies one of the m available chairs. Termination (and a win of the team) is declared as soon as each player occupies a unique...
متن کاملMulti-Player Bandits - a Musical Chairs Approach
We consider a variant of the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem, where multiple players simultaneously choose from the same set of arms and may collide, receiving no reward. This setting has been motivated by problems arising in cognitive radio networks, and is especially challenging under the realistic assumption that communication between players is limited. We provide a communication-free...
متن کاملA game of musical chairs: Pro- and anti-resection factors compete for TOPBP1 binding after DNA damage
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are generally repaired through nonhomologous end joining or homologous recombination. In this issue, Liu et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201607031) report that the conserved scaffold protein TOPBP1Dpb11 provides binding sites for both pro- and anti-resection factors at DSBs, providing insights into repair pathway regulation.
