Autophagy inhibition-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition augments local myofibroblast differentiation in pulmonary fibrosis.
(2019-08-07)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the prototypic progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease, is thought to be a consequence of repetitive micro-injuries to an ageing, susceptible alveolar epithelium. Ageing is a ...
The BAF and PRC2 Complex Subunits Dpf2 and Eed Antagonistically Converge on Tbx3 to Control ESC Differentiation.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-01-03)
BAF complexes are composed of different subunits with varying functional and developmental roles, although many subunits have not been examined in depth. Here we show that the Baf45 subunit Dpf2 maintains pluripotency and ...
Repression of Transcription at DNA Breaks Requires Cohesin throughout Interphase and Prevents Genome Instability.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-01-17)
Cohesin subunits are frequently mutated in cancer, but how they function as tumor suppressors is unknown. Cohesin mediates sister chromatid cohesion, but this is not always perturbed in cancer cells. Here, we identify a ...
WDR5, BRCA1, and BARD1 Co-regulate the DNA Damage Response and Modulate the Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition during Early Reprogramming.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-04-09)
Differentiated cells are epigenetically stable, but can be reprogrammed to pluripotency by expression of the OSKM transcription factors. Despite significant effort, relatively little is known about the cellular requirements ...
Perspectives on ENCODE.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-07-30)
The Encylopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project launched in 2003 with the long-term goal of developing a comprehensive map of functional elements in the human genome. These included genes, biochemical regions associated ...
ATMIN Is a Tumor Suppressor Gene in Lung Adenocarcinoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-15)
Tumor cells proliferate rapidly and thus are frequently subjected to replication stress and the risk of incomplete duplication of the genome. Fragile sites are replicated late, making them more vulnerable to damage when ...
Budding yeast Rap1, but not telomeric DNA, is inhibitory for multiple stages of DNA replication in vitro.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-06-04)
Telomeres are copied and reassembled each cell division cycle through a multistep process called telomere replication. Most telomeric DNA is duplicated semiconservatively during this process, but replication forks frequently ...
The role of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex in the response to DNA double strand breaks.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-09-01)
Mammalian cells possess multiple closely related SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes. These complexes have been implicated in the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). Evidence suggests that SWI/SNF ...
Structure of a nucleosome-bound MuvB transcription factor complex reveals DNA remodelling.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-08-29)
Genes encoding the core cell cycle machinery are transcriptionally regulated by the MuvB family of protein complexes in a cell cycle-specific manner. Complexes of MuvB with the transcription factors B-MYB and FOXM1 activate ...
Multiparametric Analysis of Cell Shape Demonstrates that β-PIX Directly Couples YAP Activation to Extracellular Matrix Adhesion.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-01-25)
Mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cellular geometry regulate the nuclear translocation of transcriptional regulators such as Yes-associated protein (YAP). Elucidating how physical signals control ...
