A commercial antibody to the human condensin II subunit NCAPH2 cross-reacts with a SWI/SNF complex component
(2021-01-13)
Condensin complexes compact and disentangle chromosomes in preparation for cell division. Commercially available antibodies raised against condensin subunits have been widely used to characterise their cellular interactome. ...
Hybrid Gene Origination Creates Human-Virus Chimeric Proteins during Infection.
(CELL PRESS, 2020-06-25)
RNA viruses are a major human health threat. The life cycles of many highly pathogenic RNA viruses like influenza A virus (IAV) and Lassa virus depends on host mRNA, because viral polymerases cleave 5'-m7G-capped host ...
MCPH1 inhibits Condensin II during interphase by regulating its SMC2-Kleisin interface.
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2021-12-01)
Dramatic change in chromosomal DNA morphology between interphase and mitosis is a defining features of the eukaryotic cell cycle. Two types of enzymes, namely cohesin and condensin confer the topology of chromosomal DNA ...
Structure of human RNA polymerase III.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-12-17)
In eukaryotes, RNA Polymerase (Pol) III is specialized for the transcription of tRNAs and other short, untranslated RNAs. Pol III is a determinant of cellular growth and lifespan across eukaryotes. Upregulation of Pol III ...
Human Condensin I and II Drive Extensive ATP-Dependent Compaction of Nucleosome-Bound DNA.
(CELL PRESS, 2020-07-02)
Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes are essential for genome organization from bacteria to humans, but their mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize human SMC complexes condensin ...
DNA origami-based single-molecule force spectroscopy elucidates RNA Polymerase III pre-initiation complex stability.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-05)
The TATA-binding protein (TBP) and a transcription factor (TF) IIB-like factor are important constituents of all eukaryotic initiation complexes. The reason for the emergence and strict requirement of the additional ...
A commercial antibody to the human condensin II subunit NCAPH2 cross-reacts with a SWI/SNF complex component.
(F1000 Research Ltd, 2021-01-13)
Condensin complexes compact and disentangle chromosomes in preparation for cell division. Commercially available antibodies raised against condensin subunits have been widely used to characterise their cellular interactome. ...
Structural basis of Ty3 retrotransposon integration at RNA Polymerase III-transcribed genes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-11-30)
Retrotransposons are endogenous elements that have the ability to mobilise their DNA between different locations in the host genome. The Ty3 retrotransposon integrates with an exquisite specificity in a narrow window ...
