Hormone-induced repression of genes requires BRG1-mediated H1.2 deposition at target promoters
(EMBO Press, 2016)
Eukaryotic gene regulation is associated with changes in chromatin compaction that modulate access to DNA regulatory sequences relevant for transcriptional activation or repression. Although much is ...
Unliganded progesterone receptor governs estrogen receptor gene expression by regulating DNA methylation in breast cancer cells
(MDPI, 2018)
Breast cancer prognosis and response to endocrine therapy strongly depends on the expression of the estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR, respectively). Although much is known about ERα gene ...
ADP-ribose–derived nuclear ATP synthesis by NUDIX5 is required for chromatin remodeling
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016)
Key nuclear processes in eukaryotes, including DNA replication, repair, and gene regulation, require extensive chromatin remodeling catalyzed by energy-consuming enzymes. It remains unclear how the ATP ...
Improving signal/noise resolution in single-molecule experiments using molecular constructs with short handles
(Elsevier, 2011)
We investigate unfolding/folding force kinetics in DNA hairpins exhibiting two and three states with newly designed short dsDNA handles (29 bp) using optical tweezers. We show how the higher stiffness ...
Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins: II. Irreversibility and dissipation
(IOP Publishing, 2009)
We investigate irreversibility and dissipation in single molecules that cooperatively fold/unfold in a two-state manner under the action of mechanical force. We apply path thermodynamics to derive ...
Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins: I. Force kinetics and free energy landscapes
(IOP Publishing, 2009)
We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of DNA hairpins that fold/unfold under the action of applied mechanical force. We introduce the concept of the molecular free energy landscape and derive ...
