Torsional behavior of chromatin is modulated by rotational phasing of nucleosomes
Torsionally stressed DNA plays a critical role in genome organization and regulation. While the effects of torsional stresses on naked DNA have been well studied, little is known about how these stresses propagate within chromatin and affect its organization. Here we investigate the torsional behavior of nucleosome arrays by means of Brownian dynamics simulations of a coarse-grained model of ch...
متن کاملThe CentO satellite confers translational and rotational phasing on cenH3 nucleosomes in rice centromeres.
Plant and animal centromeres comprise megabases of highly repeated satellite sequences, yet centromere function can be specified epigenetically on single-copy DNA by the presence of nucleosomes containing a centromere-specific variant of histone H3 (cenH3). We determined the positions of cenH3 nucleosomes in rice (Oryza sativa), which has centromeres composed of both the 155-bp CentO satellite ...

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
15 صفحه اولChromatin: Packaging without Nucleosomes
Dinoflagellates are unique among eukaryotes in their unusual 'dinokaryons' - nuclei that lack bulk histones. A new study finds that acquisition of a novel dinoflagellate chromatin protein was an early step in the transition to a nucleus lacking detectable nucleosomes.
متن کاملChromatin: Pushing nucleosomes around
In a eukaryotic cell, genomic DNA does not exist in a free state, but is intricately complexed with chromosomal proteins, particularly histones. The basic chromatin fibre consists of an array of nucleosomes, each packaging around 200 base pairs (bp) of DNA; 146 bp is wound around a core of eight histone molecules (two each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4), with the remaining DNA forming a linker to the ...
