ADP-ribose–derived nuclear ATP synthesis by NUDIX5 is required for chromatin remodeling
(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 ... -
Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins: I. Force kinetics and free energy landscapes
(Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 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 ... -
Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins: II. Irreversibility and dissipation
(Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 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 ... -
Hormone-induced repression of genes requires BRG1-mediated H1.2 deposition at target promoters
(The EMBO Journal, 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 ... -
Statistical properties of metastable intermediates in DNA unzipping
(Physical Review Letters, 2009)We unzip DNA molecules using optical tweezers and determine the sizes of the cooperatively unzipping and zipping regions separating consecutive metastable intermediates along the unzipping pathway. Sizes ... -
Unliganded progesterone receptor governs estrogen receptor gene expression by regulating DNA methylation in breast cancer cells
(Cancers, 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 ...
