Identification and characterization of proteins that protect human telomeres from fragility

Anna Christina Näger

Difficulties to replicate telomeres - the ends of our chromosomes - can cause telomere shortening and genome instability. These difficulties are due to the repetitive DNA sequence and distinct structures at telomeres that challenge the semi-conservative DN ...

Histone acetylation dynamics modulates chromatin conformation and allele-specific interactions at oncogenic loci

Elisa Oricchio, Natalya Katanayeva, Daniele Tavernari, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Ruxandra-Andreea Lambuta, Giovanni Ciriello

In cancer cells, enhancer hijacking mediated by chromosomal alterations and/or increased deposition of acetylated histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27ac) can support oncogene expression. However, how the chromatin conformation of enhancer-promoter interactions is a ...

Applying Peptide and Protein Synthesis to Study Post-translational Modifications in Epigenetics and Beyond

Beat Fierz

Epigenetics research focuses on the study of heritable gene regulatory mechanisms that do not involve changes of the DNA sequence. Such mechanisms include post-translational modifications of histone proteins that organize the genome in the nucleus into a n ...

The box C/D snoRNP assembly factor Bcd1 interacts with the histone chaperone Rtt106 and controls its transcription dependent activity

Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

Biogenesis of eukaryotic box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins initiates co-transcriptionally and requires the action of the assembly machinery including the Hsp90/R2TP complex, the Rsa1p:Hit1p heterodimer and the Bcd1 protein. We present genetic inte ...

Epigenetic remodelling of enhancers in response to estrogen deprivation and re-stimulation

Ludovica Vanzan

Estrogen hormones are implicated in a majority of breast cancers and estrogen receptor alpha (ER), the main nuclear factor mediating estrogen signaling, orchestrates a complex molecular circuitry that is not yet fully elucidated. Here, we investigated geno ...

Challenging endings: How telomeres prevent fragility

Joachim Lingner, Galina Glousker

It has become apparent that difficulties to replicate telomeres concern not only the very ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. The challenges already start when the replication fork enters the telomeric repeats. The obstacles encountered consist mainly of nonca ...

Computational identification and experimental characterization of preferred downstream positions in human core promoters

Philipp Bucher, René Dreos

Author summary Transcription of genes by the RNA polymerase II enzyme initiates at a genomic region termed the core promoter. The core promoter is a regulatory region that may contain diverse short DNA sequence motifs/elements that confer specific properti ...

The human telomeric proteome during telomere replication

Joachim Lingner, Thomas Frédéric Lunardi, Aleksandra Vancevska, Gérald Joseph Paul Lossaint, Chih-Yi Gabriela Lin

Telomere shortening can cause detrimental diseases and contribute to aging. It occurs due to the end replication problem in cells lacking telomerase. Furthermore, recent studies revealed that telomere shortening can be attributed to difficulties of the sem ...

TRIM37 prevents formation of centriolar protein assemblies by regulating Centrobin

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf, Fernando Romero Balestra, Tessa Vivianne Averink, Alizée Buff

TRIM37 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase mutated in Mulibrey nanism, a disease with impaired organ growth and increased tumor formation. TRIM37 depletion from tissue culture cells results in supernumerary foci bearing the centriolar protein Centrin. Here, we chara ...

Multiplexed Single-Molecule Experiments Reveal Nucleosome Invasion Dynamics of the Cas9 Genome Editor

Beat Fierz, Louise Catherine Bryan, Kristina Makasheva

Single-molecule measurements provide detailed mechanistic insights into molecular processes, for example in genome regulation where DNA access is controlled by nucleosomes and the chromatin machinery. However, real-time single-molecule observations of nucl ...

Investigating Crosstalk Among PTMs Provides Novel Insight Into the Structural Basis Underlying the Differential Effects of Nt17 PTMs on Mutant Httex1 Aggregation

Hilal Lashuel, Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata, Lucien Fabrice Krapp, Anass Chiki, Driss Boudeffa, Iman Rostami, Rajasekhar Kolla, Zhidian Zhang

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) within the first 17 amino acids (Nt17) of the Huntingtin protein (Htt) have been shown to inhibit the aggregation and attenuate the toxicity of mutant Htt proteins in vitro and in various models of Huntington’s disea ...

Toward a mechanistic understanding of variable chromatin modules

Gerard Llimos Aubach

Our genome is a long sequence of DNA that contains all the information to be able to constitute a living organism like us, similarly to what the letters in a book do to create a story. This sequence, which is a stretch of molecules called nucleotides, is a ...
