• Research has identified a double function for the Drosophila Dmt protein in both establishing and maintaining cohesion whereby identical chromatids pair during DNA replication. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Dmt localizes to regions of tightly packed chromatin through interactions with other proteins to launch cohesion, and protects cohesion at other cell cycle timepoints by binding different proteins. (sciencedaily.com)
  • At certain stages of the cell cycle, these chromatids pair and are held together in a process known as cohesion, which involves the cohesin protein. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Although cohesin is then removed, cohesion around the region of the chromosome where the two sister chromatids link is protected until slightly later in the cell cycle. (sciencedaily.com)
  • These form a ring structure that is proposed to encircle sister chromatids to mediate sister chromatid cohesion and also has key roles in gene regulation. (nih.gov)
  • We analyzed the incorporation of sister chromatid cohesion proteins (cohesins) and other AE components into AEs. (rupress.org)
  • Cohesion between sister chromatids is essential for proper chromosome disjunction and homologous recombination in the mitotic cycle and in meiosis ( Nasmyth, 2001 ). (rupress.org)
  • In the mitotic cycle of yeast, cohesins bind to chromatin before S phase, whereas cohesion is established during S phase ( Uhlmann and Nasmyth, 1998 ). (rupress.org)
  • Chromatin assembly and the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion are intimately connected to the progression of DNA replication forks. (cell-stress.com)
  • We present evidence that CAF-1 affects cohesin association to chromatin in a DNA-damage-dependent manner and is essential to maintain cohesion in the absence of CTF4 . (cell-stress.com)
  • Furthermore, we describe genetic interactions between CAF-1 and essential genes involved in cohesin loading, cohesin stabilization, and cohesin component indicating that CAF-1 is crucial for viability when sister chromatid cohesion is affected. (cell-stress.com)
  • Finally, our data indicate that the CAF-1-dependent pathway required for cohesion is functionally distinct from the Rtt101-Mms1-Mms22 pathway which functions in replicated chromatin assembly. (cell-stress.com)
  • Collectively, our results suggest that the deposition by CAF-1 of newly-synthesized H3-H4 histones during DNA replication creates a chromatin environment that favors sister chromatid cohesion and maintains genome integrity. (cell-stress.com)

  • A sister chromatid is one half of an identical pair of chromatids formed by the replication of a single chromosome. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Here, the satellite is connected with the rest of the chromosome through a thin chromatin filament. (byjus.com)
  • Each chromatid comprises a single molecule of DNA. (byjus.com)
  • Each chromatid is a single molecule of DNA attached to protein matrix fibres that forms its scaffold or axial filament [ 14 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • SMC3 with retained acetylation is loaded onto chromatin, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis demonstrates decreased occupancy of cohesin localization sites that results in a consistent pattern of altered transcription seen in CdLS cell lines with either NIPBL or HDAC8 mutations. (nih.gov)
  • Binding of sequence-specific transcription factors and associated chromatin-modifying enzymes can induce post-translational modification of histone tails and can facilitate nucleosome removal [ 3 - 5 ], which can turn functional sequences such as promoters and enhancers into active, nucleosome-depleted sites [ 2 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • A subunit of this chromatin is termed a nucleosome. (byjus.com)
  • These cells then proceed through meiosis II, wherein sister chromatids are separated into individual cells. (jci.org)
  • The term chromatid was proposed by McClung (1900) for each of the four threads making up a chromosome -pair during meiosis . (wikidoc.org)
  • In the Rabl configuration, the free ends of the chromatids-another region of condensed chromatin called telomeres-are clustered at the opposite end of the nucleus, with respect to the centromeres. (genengnews.com)
  • Nucleus has nuclear membrane, nucleoplasm, chromatin network and nucleolus but choromosomes have two chromatids, which are held at cetromere. (preservearticles.com)
  • One might expect that the position of centromeres and telomeres could influence the organization of chromatin and thereby regulate gene expression. (genengnews.com)
  • Scientists experimentally induce chromatin remodeling to enhance the conversion of cells into pluripotent stem cells. (jove.com)
  • The tips of the chromatid are called telomeres . (wikidoc.org)
  • Nagoya University researchers labeled the Dmt protein with a green fluorescent tag, then used live cell imaging to show that it localizes to the joining point of tightly packed chromatin in Drosophila cells. (sciencedaily.com)
  • This protein binds to the phosphorylated form of serine 5 of RNA polymerase II ( Figure ) and may directly modulate its activity or promote the recruitment of chromatin components. (cea.fr)

  • therefore, scientists can add histone-modifying enzymes, histone variants, and chromatin remodeling complexes to somatic cells to aid reprogramming into pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. (jove.com)
  • Enzymes, such as histone demethylases and acetyltransferases, are often added during reprogramming to loosen the chromatin, making the DNA more accessible to transcription factors. (jove.com)
  • Some use the term chromosome in a wider sense, to refer to the individualized portions of chromatin in cells, either visible or not under light microscopy. (wikipedia.org)
  • Enhancers promote transcription by providing a binding platform for transcription factors [ 12 ] that can act on (distal) target genes through three-dimensional chromatin looping [ 13 - 15 ]. (biomedcentral.com)

  • Remodeling transforms the condensed chromatin to a relaxed form, inducing the gene expression necessary for pluripotency. (jove.com)
