The Photo-Activatable Ribonucleoside-enhanced CrossLinking and ImmunoPrecipitation (PAR-CLIP) method was recently developed for global identification of RNAs interacting with proteins. The strength of this versatile method results from induction of specific T to C transitions at sites of interaction...
The Polycomb group (PcG) and Trithorax group (TrxG) of proteins are required for stable and heritable maintenance of repressed and active gene expression states. Their antagonistic function on gene control, repression for PcG and activity for TrxG, is mediated by binding to chromatin and subsequent ...
In this study we provide evidence that Hsp90 binds chromatin at specific sites close to several TSS in Drosophila S2 cell line. In addition of finding a preference for stalled promoter regions of annotated genes, we uncover many intergenic Hsp90 binding sites coinciding with non-annotated transcript...
Drosophila S2 cells were treated with Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor radicicol for 15min, 30min and 1h. Poly(A) RNA was isolated and sequenced. Kinetics of transcriptional response to Hsp90 inhibition
see Super Series Summary Gene expression profiles of Drosophila S2-DRSC FSH knockdown cells were generated by Illumna RNA sequencing and compared to profiles derived from control cells (eGFP knockdown).
Histone modifications affect DNA-templated processes ranging from transcription to genomic replication. In this study, we examine the cell cycle dynamics of the trimethylated form of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3), a mark of active chromatin that is viewed as “long-lived” [1], and that is involved in...
