Morao A, Chervova A, Zhao Y, Ercan S, Cecere G
bioRxiv
. 2025 Jan;
PMID: 39803503
Transcription introduces torsional stress in the DNA fiber causing it to transition from a relaxed to a supercoiled state that can propagate across several kilobases and modulate the binding and...

. 2022 Oct;
82(22):4202-4217.e5.
PMID: 36302374
Condensins are evolutionarily conserved molecular motors that translocate along DNA and form loops. To address how DNA topology affects condensin translocation, we applied auxin-inducible degradation of topoisomerases I and II...

. 2022 Jun;
12(8).
PMID: 35731207
Isolation of copy number variations and chromosomal duplications at high frequency in the laboratory suggested that Caenorhabditis elegans tolerates increased gene dosage. Here, we addressed if a general dosage compensation...

J Cell Sci
. 2021 Dec;
135(2).
PMID: 34918745
Condensin is a multi-subunit structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex that binds to and compacts chromosomes. Here, we addressed the regulation of condensin binding dynamics using Caenorhabditis elegans condensin DC,...

PMID: 34383014
Animals evolved in environments with variable nutrient availability and one form of adaptation is the delay of reproduction in food shortage conditions. Belew et al. (2021. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202009197) report...

Methods Mol Biol
. 2017 Oct;
1675:111-130.
PMID: 29052189
Progression of a cell along a differentiation path is characterized by changes in gene expression profiles. Alterations of these transcriptional programs result from cell type-specific transcription factors that act in...

Plant Cell
. 2016 Sep;
28(10):2616-2631.
PMID: 27650334
Spatiotemporal regulation of transcription is fine-tuned at multiple levels, including chromatin compaction. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes the trimethylation of Histone 3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3), which is the...
