Abstract:
... In this study, we assessed the health, growth, sperm characteristics, and intestinal, liver, and testicular morphology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) males fed rations containing purified nucleotides (NT). A total of 420 females (286 ± 7.15 g) and 140 males (536 ± 13.4 g) were used. Fish were fed on extruded ration (280 g digestible protein kg⁻¹; 11.72 M joule (MJ) of digestible energy kg ...

Abstract:
... Regulatory elements activate promoters by recruiting transcription factors (TFs) to specific motifs. Notably, TF-DNA interactions often depend on cooperativity with colocalized partners, suggesting an underlying cis-regulatory syntax. To explore TF cooperativity in mammals, we analyze ∼500 mouse and human primary cells by combining an atlas of TF motifs, footprints, ChIP-seq, transcriptomes, and a ...

Abstract:
... DNA polymerase η (Pol η) catalyzes accurate bypass of ultraviolet light-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, and it also functions in several other related processes, including bypassing DNA with unusual structures. Here, we performed unbiased proteome-wide profiling of Pol η-interacting proteins by using two independent approaches, i.e., proximity labeling and affinity pull-down followed by LC- ...

Abstract:
... Existing methods for computational prediction of transcription factor (TF) binding sites evaluate genomic regions with similarity to known TF sequence preferences. Most TF binding sites, however, do not resemble known TF sequence motifs, and many TFs are not sequence-specific. We developed Virtual ChIP-seq, which predicts binding of individual TFs in new cell types, integrating learned association ...
... Krastev et al. (2022) identify a cellular mechanism that counteracts cytotoxic trapping of PARP1 induced by clinical PARP inhibitors. SUMO-targeted ubiquitylation of trapped PARP1 is shown to trigger the enzymes’ extraction from chromatin by the p97 ATPase. ...

Abstract:
... The three-dimensional configuration of the genome ensures cell type-specific gene expression profiles by placing genes and regulatory elements in close spatial proximity. Here, we used in situ high-throughput chromosome conformation (in situ Hi-C), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) to characterize the high-order chromatin structure signature of female ...

Abstract:
... Chromatin modification contributes to pluripotency maintenance in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the related mechanisms remain obscure. Here, we show that Npac, a “reader” of histone H3 lysine 36 trimethylation (H3K36me3), is required to maintain mouse ESC (mESC) pluripotency since knockdown of Npac causes mESC differentiation. Depletion of Npac in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) inhibit ...

... The interaction of RB with chromatin is key to understanding its molecular functions. Here, for first time, we identify the full spectrum of chromatin-bound RB. Rather than exclusively binding promoters, as is often described, RB targets three fundamentally different types of loci (promoters, enhancers, and insulators), which are largely distinguishable by the mutually exclusive presence of E2F1, ...
... Although damaged cells can be repaired, cells that are considered unlikely to be repaired are eliminated through apoptosis, a type of predicted cell death found in multicellular organisms. Apoptosis is a structured cell death involving alterations to the cell morphology and internal biochemical changes. This process involves the expansion and cracking of cells, changes in cell membranes, nuclear f ...
... Accessible chromatin regions (ACRs) are tightly associated with gene expressions in the genome. Conserved non-coding cis-regulatory elements, such as transcription factor binding motifs, are usually found in ACRs, indicating an essential regulatory role of ACRs in the plant genome architecture. However, there have been few studies on soybean ACRs, especially those focusing on specific tissues. Hen ...

Abstract:
... We present a novel unsupervised deep learning approach called BindVAE, based on Dirichlet variational autoencoders, for jointly decoding multiple TF binding signals from open chromatin regions. BindVAE can disentangle an input DNA sequence into distinct latent factors that encode cell-type specific in vivo binding signals for individual TFs, composite patterns for TFs involved in cooperative bindi ...
... Work over the last decade has uncovered a new layer of epigenetic dysregulation. It is now appreciated that somatic missense mutations in histones, the packaging agents of genomic DNA, are often associated with human pathologies, especially cancer. Although some of these “oncohistone” mutations are thought to be key drivers of cancer, the impacts of the majority of them on disease onset and progre ...
... Fiskin et al. (2021) developed a “multi-omics” approach that integrates phage-displayed single-domain antibodies (“nanobodies”) with the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (PHAGE-ATAC) to simultaneously determine protein expression, chromatin accessibility, and mitochondrial DNA mutations (for clonal tracing) in single cells. ...

Abstract:
... The long-range interactions of cis-regulatory elements (cREs) play a central role in gene regulation. cREs can be characterized as accessible chromatin sequences. However, it remains technically challenging to comprehensively identify their spatial interactions. Here, we report a new method HiCAR (Hi-C on accessible regulatory DNA), which utilizes Tn5 transposase and chromatin proximity ligation, ...

Abstract:
... The shock-and-kill strategy reactivates HIV-1 latent reservoir for immune clearance. Einkauf et al. found that some HIV-1-infected cells that persist and proliferate have transcriptionally active HIV-1 in permissive chromatin. Silent proviruses in repressive chromatin resist reactivation. Understanding HIV-1-chromatin interactions and how transcriptionally active HIV-1-infected cells survive is a ...

Abstract:
... The embryonic stem cell- (ESC) specific transcription factor Oct4 is a well-known master regulator of pluripotency. The aim of this study was to identify upstream regulators of Oct4 and explore their functional link in regulating lincRNA expression in ESCs. By quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis upon CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) or Oct4 knockdown, here, we found that the chromatin insulat ...

Abstract:
... Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones play essential roles in chromatin function and epigenetic regulation. Determining the interaction partners of these modifications is crucial to understanding transcriptional processes related to diverse developmental and pathological cues. We discuss how chemical proteomics can be applied to the simultaneous and global exploration of these intera ...

Abstract:
... The evolutionary conserved Polycomb Group (PcG) repressive system comprises two central protein complexes, PcG repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2. These complexes, through the incorporation of histone modifications on chromatin, have an essential role in the normal development of eukaryotes. In recent years, a significant effort has been made to characterize these complexes in the different king ...
... BACKGROUND: The pig is an economically important livestock species and is a widely applied large animal model in medical research. Enhancers are critical regulatory elements that have fundamental functions in evolution, development and disease. Genome-wide quantification of functional enhancers in the pig is needed. RESULTS: We performed self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing (STARR ...
