Histones are a family of small ... Indeed, this is just one area of DNA packaging that researchers will continue to explore in the years to come.
An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...
During DNA packaging, long pieces of double-stranded ... this feat by wrapping their DNA around special proteins called histones, thereby compacting it enough to fit inside the nucleus (Figure ...
A second epigenetic mechanism implicated in learning and memory involves modification of histones, the proteins that DNA wraps around for organization and packaging within the nucleus 3,7. The basic ...
Histones are not only essential for packaging and DNA into a compact form called chromatin, but also are decorated with chemical modifications that serve as signals or signposts marking locations ...
Histones are key proteins in the organisation and regulation of DNA in all eukaryotic cells, i.e. cells in which DNA is contained in a nucleus. This includes fungi, plants and animals. However ...
They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual pathway, affecting the cell's ability to divide and grow. This opens up new doors to study how the copying of the DNA and its ...
Daphne Avgousti studies how viruses hijack the DNA packaging of the cells they infect ... host chromatin through protein VII and more broadly how DNA viruses use histones or histone-like proteins for ...
Histones are not only essential for packaging and DNA into a compact form called chromatin, but also are decorated with chemical modifications that serve as signals or signposts marking locations ...
