Transcriptional coactivator PC4, a chromatin-associated protein, induces chromatin condensation.
Human transcriptional coactivator PC4 is a highly abundant multifunctional protein which plays diverse important roles in cellular processes, including transcription, replication, and repair. It is also a unique activator of p53 function. Here we report that PC4 is a bona fide component of chromatin with distinct chromatin organization ability. PC4 is predominantly associated with the chromatin...
متن کاملChromatin fractionation related to cell type and chromosome condensation but perhaps not to transcriptional activity.
A chromatin fractionation procedure has been developed that involves the shearing of swollen chromatin and the separation of chromatin fragments by sucrose gradient centrifugation. When chromatin from rapidly growing HeLa cells was fractionated, four partially resolved peaks were obtained. Partial characterization of the chromatin fractions indicated that each contained similar lengths of DNA f...
متن کاملSmall molecule compound induces chromatin de-condensation and facilitates induced pluripotent stem cell generation.
The revolutionary induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology provides a new means for cell replacement therapies and drug screening. Small molecule compounds have been found extremely useful to improve the generation of iPSCs and understand the reprogramming mechanism. Here we report the identification of a novel chemical, CYT296, which improves OSKM-mediated induction of iPSCs for >10 fol...
متن کاملEfficient cell migration requires global chromatin condensation.
Cell migration is a fundamental process that is necessary for the development and survival of multicellular organisms. Here, we show that cell migration is contingent on global condensation of the chromatin fiber. Induction of directed cell migration by the scratch-wound assay leads to decreased DNaseI sensitivity, alterations in the chromatin binding of architectural proteins and elevated leve...
متن کاملA cascade of histone modifications induces chromatin condensation in mitosis.
Metaphase chromosomes are visible hallmarks of mitosis, yet our understanding of their structure and of the forces shaping them is rudimentary. Phosphorylation of histone H3 serine 10 (H3 S10) by Aurora B kinase is a signature event of mitosis, but its function in chromatin condensation is unclear. Using genetically encoded ultraviolet light-inducible cross-linkers, we monitored protein-protein...
