Chromatin-remodeling enzymes perform the formidable task of reorganizing the structure of a stable macromolecular assembly, the nucleosome. Recently published work demonstrates that the SNF2H ...
In organisms whose cells have a nucleus, like plants and animals, the basic packaging units of DNA are the so-called nucleosomes. A nucleosome consists of a segment of DNA wound around eight proteins ...
Research published in Cell Research from Mario Halic, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, revealed 13 distinct structures of the chromatin remodeler SNF2H offering a comprehensive view the ...
Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can also lead to cancer and other diseases. To better understand how chromatin ...
KANAZAWA, Japan, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nano Letters the discovery of a biomolecular dynamical process likely relevant to gene expression. The ...
