متن کاملOvercoming a nucleosomal barrier to replication
Efficient overcoming and accurate maintenance of chromatin structure and associated histone marks during DNA replication are essential for normal functioning of the daughter cells. However, the molecular mechanisms of replication through chromatin are unknown. We have studied traversal of uniquely positioned mononucleosomes by T7 replisome in vitro. Nucleosomes present a strong, sequence-depend...
متن کاملOvercoming a nucleosomal barrier to transcription
We have studied the kinetics of transcription through a nucleosome core. RNA polymerase transcribes the first approximately 25 bp of nucleosomal DNA rapidly, but then hits a barrier and continues slowly to the nucleosomal dyad region. Here, the barrier disappears and the transcript is completed at a rapid rate, as if on free DNA, indicating that histone octamer transfer is completed as polymera...
متن کاملReevaluating the digital divide: current lack of internet use is not a barrier to adoption of novel health information technology.
Improving care for a growing population of complex patients with type 2 diabetes requires developing innovative strategies for clinical management (1,2). Currently, roughly 70% of the U.S. population uses the Internet (3,4). Disparities in Internet use across social and ethnic strata, however, have resulted in the well-publicized “digital divide” (5,6). Population segments less likely to be onl...
