A Split Personality for Nucleosomes
A high-resolution look at where histones touch DNA reveals a surprisingly intricate, dynamic, and modular nucleosome. Three advances in the study by Rhee et al. include unexpected interactions between the H3 tail and linker DNA, new evidence for existence of subnucleosomal particles, and asymmetric patterns of histone modification within a single nucleosome that correspond to the direction of t...
متن کاملThe Split Personality of CENP-A Nucleosomes
The composition and structure of centromeric nucleosomes, which contain the histone H3 variant CENP-A, is intensely debated. Two independent studies in this issue, in yeast and human cells, now suggest that CENP-A nucleosomes adopt different structures depending on the stage of the cell cycle.
متن کاملSeamounts: identity crisis or split personality?
Less than 100 years after Mosely’s statement, Hubbs (1959) contemplated the ‘scientific interests, particularly in respect to zoogeography and speciation’ of recently discovered submerged mountains in the Pacific Ocean. Approximately 14,000 seamounts, undersea mountains peaking below sea level (Wessel, 2001; Kitchingman & Lai, 2004), rise up from the ocean bottom. Like terrestrial mountains (Br...
متن کاملOn the split personality of penultimate proline.
The influence of the position of the amino acid proline in polypeptide sequences is examined by a combination of ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS), amino acid substitutions, and molecular modeling. The results suggest that when proline exists as the second residue from the N-terminus (i.e., penultimate proline), two families of conformers are formed. We demonstrate the existe...
متن کاملThe TNF Receptor 1 A Split Personality Complex
The tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), a prototypic member of the death receptor family signals both cell survival and apoptosis. In this issue of Cell, report that apoptotic TNFR1 signaling proceeds via the sequential formation of two distinct complexes. Since the first complex can activate survival signals and influence the activity of the second complex, this mechanism provides a chec...
