Nucleus and gene regulation.
www.sciencedirect.com At the close of a 1973 meeting on Chromosome Structure and Function, an observer commented that chromosomes resembled ‘‘a bad day at a macaroni factory’’ [1]. But things change. Only a few months later nucleosomes were discovered and within just a few more years it began to be appreciated that the nucleus is organized as functionally distinct domains. Even the regions betw...
متن کاملGeometry of the nucleus: a perspective on gene expression regulation.
Gene expression control results from the combined interactions of the nearly hundred proteins forming the pre-initiation complex, thousands of transcription regulators, and genomic DNA. In the recent years, new technologies have revealed several key aspects of nuclear spatial organization that showed a fine interplay between the function of nuclear proteins, their 3D organization, and their dyn...
متن کاملRoles of Chromatin insulators in gene regulation and diseases
With advances in genetic science, the dynamic structure of eukaryotic genome is considered as basis of gene expression regulation. Long-distance communication between regulatory elements and target promoters is critical and the mechanisms responsible for this connection are just starting to emerge. Chromatin insulators are key determinants of proper gene regulation and precise organization of c...
متن کاملNeurotransmitter regulation of cellular activation and neuropeptide gene expression in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus.
Norepinephrine (NE), glutamate (Glu), and GABA have been identified as important neurotransmitters governing neuroendocrine mechanisms represented in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH). Microinjection studies were used to compare the efficacy of these transmitter mechanisms in stimulating PVH output neurons. Local administration of NE provoked an increase in plasma corticoste...
متن کاملRegulation of Agouti-Related Protein and Pro-Opiomelanocortin Gene Expression in the Avian Arcuate Nucleus
The arcuate nucleus is generally conserved across vertebrate taxa in its neuroanatomy and neuropeptide expression. Gene expression of agouti-related protein (AGRP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) has been established in the arcuate nucleus of several bird species and co-localization demonstrated for AGRP and NPY. The p...
