Expression-Dependent Folding of Interphase Chromatin
Multiple studies suggest that chromatin looping might play a crucial role in organizing eukaryotic genomes. To investigate the interplay between the conformation of interphase chromatin and its transcriptional activity, we include information from gene expression profiles into a polymer model for chromatin that incorporates genomic loops. By relating loop formation to transcriptional activity, ...
متن کاملSpatially confined folding of chromatin in the interphase nucleus.
Genome function in higher eukaryotes involves major changes in the spatial organization of the chromatin fiber. Nevertheless, our understanding of chromatin folding is remarkably limited. Polymer models have been used to describe chromatin folding. However, none of the proposed models gives a satisfactory explanation of experimental data. In particularly, they ignore that each chromosome occupi...
متن کاملNucleosome packing in interphase chromatin
Higher-order chromatin fibers (200--300 A in diameter) are reproducibly released from nuclei after lysis in the absence of formalin and/or detergent. Electron microscope analysis of these fibers shows that they are composed of a continuous array of closely apposed nucleosomes which display several distinct packing patterns. Analysis of the organization of nucleosomes within these arrays and the...
متن کاملInterphase Chromatin LINEd with RNA
RNA has been proposed to be a component of an underlying nuclear matrix. Hall et al. show that noncoding, repetitive RNAs, some derived from LINE1 elements, stably associate with interphase chromosomes and copurify with nuclear scaffold, indicating that RNAs might impact interphase chromosome architecture.
متن کاملProteomics of a fuzzy organelle: interphase chromatin
Chromatin proteins mediate replication, regulate expression, and ensure integrity of the genome. So far, a comprehensive inventory of interphase chromatin has not been determined. This is largely due to its heterogeneous and dynamic composition, which makes conclusive biochemical purification difficult, if not impossible. As a fuzzy organelle, it defies classical organellar proteomics and canno...
