A Modular Ligation Strategy for Asymmetric Bivalent Nucleosomes Trimethylated at K36 and K27

Nora Guidotti, Beat Fierz, Carolin Christine Lechner, Andreas Linus Bachmann

In nature, individual histones in the same nucleosome can carry identical (symmetric) or different (asymmetric) post-translational modification (PTM) patterns, increasing the combinatorial complexity. Embryonic stem cells exhibit bivalent nucleosomes, some ...

A bi-terminal protein ligation strategy to probe chromatin structure during DNA damage

Beat Fierz, Sinan Kilic, Carolin Christine Lechner, Iuliia Boichenko

The cellular response to DNA damage results in a signaling cascade that primes chromatin for repair. Combinatorial post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a key role in this process by altering the physical properties of chromatin and recruiting downs ...

Single-molecule kinetic analysis of HP1-chromatin binding reveals a dynamic network of histone modification and DNA interactions

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Louise Catherine Bryan, Georg Fantner, Pascal Damian Odermatt, Oliver Hantschel, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Beat Fierz, Sinan Kilic, Carolin Christine Lechner, Andreas Linus Bachmann, Daniel Robert Weilandt

Chromatin recruitment of effector proteins involved in gene regulation depends on multivalent interaction with histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and structural features of the chromatin fiber. Due to the complex interactions involved, it is c ...

Traceless Synthesis of Asymmetrically Modified Bivalent Nucleosomes

Beat Fierz, Carolin Christine Lechner, Ninad Dilip Agashe

Nucleosomes carry extensive post-translational modifications (PTMs), which results in complex modification patterns that are involved in epigenetic signaling. Although two copies of each histone coexist in a nucleosome, they may not carry the same PTMs and ...

Silaffins in Silica Biomineralization and Biomimetic Silica Precipitation

Carolin Christine Lechner

Biomineralization processes leading to complex solid structures of inorganic material in biological systems are constantly gaining attention in biotechnology and biomedical research. An outstanding example for biomineral morphogenesis is the formation of h ...
