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 ...
Structural basis of RNA polymerase III transcription initiation.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-01-17)
RNA polymerase (Pol) III transcribes essential non-coding RNAs, including the entire pool of transfer RNAs, the 5S ribosomal RNA and the U6 spliceosomal RNA, and is often deregulated in cancer cells. The initiation of gene ...
Cryo-EM structures of the XPF-ERCC1 endonuclease reveal how DNA-junction engagement disrupts an auto-inhibited conformation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-02-28)
The structure-specific endonuclease XPF-ERCC1 participates in multiple DNA damage repair pathways including nucleotide excision repair (NER) and inter-strand crosslink repair (ICLR). How XPF-ERCC1 is catalytically activated ...
