Chromatin Dynamics in Lineage Commitment and Cellular Reprogramming
Dynamic structural properties of chromatin play an essential role in defining cell identity and function. Transcription factors and chromatin modifiers establish and maintain cell states through alteration of DNA accessibility and histone modifications. This activity is focused at both gene-proximal promoter regions and distally located regulatory elements. In the three-dimensional space of the...
متن کاملChromatin Connections to Pluripotency and Cellular Reprogramming
The pluripotent state of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) provides a unique perspective on regulatory programs that govern self-renewal and differentiation and somatic cell reprogramming. Here, we review the highly connected protein and transcriptional networks that maintain pluripotency and how they are intertwined with factors that affect chromatin structure and function. The complex interrelation...
متن کاملCellular Reprogramming: Chromatin Puts On the Brake
Directed reprogramming of differentiated cells allows the generation of specific cell types for therapeutics and can provide unexpected insights into development. A recent study demonstrates that efficient reprogramming of Caenorhabditis elegans germ cells into neurons can be achieved by knocking down a histone chaperone gene and ectopic expression of a terminal selector transcription factor.
متن کاملChromatin dynamics during DNA replication.
Chromatin is composed of DNA and histones, which provide a unified platform for regulating DNA-related processes, mostly through their post-translational modification. During DNA replication, histone arrangement is perturbed, first to allow progression of DNA polymerase and then during repackaging of the replicated DNA. To study how DNA replication influences the pattern of histone modification...
متن کاملChromatin Reprogramming: Gender Equality during Arabidopsis Germline Differentiation
Large-scale histone H3 reprogramming during male germline differentiation is conserved between animals and plants. A new report now shows that histone H3 reprogramming also occurs in the female germline of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
