Functionally Relevant Domains of the Prion Protein Identified In Vivo
The prion consists essentially of PrP(Sc), a misfolded and aggregated conformer of the cellular protein PrP(C). Whereas PrP(C) deficient mice are clinically healthy, expression of PrP(C) variants lacking its central domain (PrP(DeltaCD)), or of the PrP-related protein Dpl, induces lethal neurodegenerative syndromes which are repressed by full-length PrP. Here we tested the structural basis of t...
متن کاملATP-dependent chromatin assembly is functionally distinct from chromatin remodeling
Chromatin assembly involves the combined action of ATP-dependent motor proteins and histone chaperones. Because motor proteins in chromatin assembly also function as chromatin remodeling factors, we investigated the relationship between ATP-driven chromatin assembly and chromatin remodeling in the generation of periodic nucleosome arrays. We found that chromatin remodeling-defective Chd1 motor ...
متن کاملFunctionally relevant measures of spatial complexity in neuronal dendritic arbors.
We introduce a set of scaling exponents for characterizing global 3D morphologic properties of mass distribution, branching and taper in neuronal dendritic arbors, capable of distinguishing functionally relevant changes in dendritic complexity that standard Sholl analysis and fractal analysis cannot. We demonstrate that the scaling exponent for mass distribution, d(M), comprises a sum of indepe...
متن کاملCas9 Functionally Opens Chromatin
Using a nuclease-dead Cas9 mutant, we show that Cas9 reproducibly induces chromatin accessibility at previously inaccessible genomic loci. Cas9 chromatin opening is sufficient to enable adjacent binding and transcriptional activation by the settler transcription factor retinoic acid receptor at previously unbound motifs. Thus, we demonstrate a new use for Cas9 in increasing surrounding chromati...
متن کاملVery low HbA1C, is it a problem?
Dear Editor An important problem to manage diabetes mellitus is controlling the patients` blood glucose. Fluctuation of blood glucose results in molecular biochemistry change and can result in unwanted diabetic complications (1). In clinical practice, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) is a common useful laboratory test to follow-up patients with diabetes (2). Sometimes, an unexpecte...
