1.
Fujioka T, Murakami Y, Takahata S
Genes Cells . 2025 Mar; 30(2):e70012. PMID: 40083061
Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is a highly conserved, canonical factor involved in heterochromatin formation. HP1 has been shown to interact with proteins other than silencing factors and heterochromatin effectors. In...

Oya T, Tanaka M, Hayashi A, Yoshimura Y, Nakamura R, Arita K, et al.
FASEB J . 2025 Feb; 39(4):e70387. PMID: 39945308
The heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) family recognizes lysine 9-methylated histone H3 (H3K9me) and recruits other transacting factors to establish higher order chromatin structures. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S....

Takahata S, Taguchi A, Takenaka A, Mori M, Chikashige Y, Tsutsumi C, et al.
Genes Cells . 2024 Jun; 29(7):567-583. PMID: 38837646
Chromatin condensation state is the key for retrieving genetic information. High-mobility group protein (HMG) proteins exhibit DNA-binding and bending activities, playing an important role in the regulation of chromatin structure....

Mori M, Sato M, Takahata S, Kajitani T, Murakami Y
Genes Cells . 2024 Apr; 29(6):471-485. PMID: 38629626
In fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, constitutive heterochromatin defined by methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me) and its binding protein Swi6/HP1 localizes at the telomere, centromere, and mating-type loci. These...

Yamamoto T, Asanuma T, Murakami Y
Commun Biol . 2023 Aug; 6(1):796. PMID: 37542144
Motivated by our recent experiments that demonstrate that the tandemly repeated genes become heterochromatin, here we show a theory of heterochromatin assembly by taking into account the connectivity of these...
6.
Takahata S, Murakami Y
Biomolecules . 2023 Feb; 13(2). PMID: 36830746
DNA is stored in the nucleus of a cell in a folded state; however, only the necessary genetic information is extracted from the required group of genes. The key to...

Asanuma T, Inagaki S, Kakutani T, Aburatani H, Murakami Y
Genes Dev . 2023 Jan; 36(21-24):1145-1159. PMID: 36617881
In most eukaryotes, constitutive heterochromatin, defined by histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me), is enriched on repetitive DNA, such as pericentromeric repeats and transposons. Furthermore, repetitive transgenes also induce heterochromatin...

Bun T, Sato Y, Futami H, Tagawa Y, Murakami Y, Takahashi M
Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2022 Nov; 638:58-65. PMID: 36442233
Cell migration is a cytoskeleton-driven cellular process involved in physiological and pathological events such as embryonic development and cancer metastasis. Fibroblasts have often been used to elucidate the mechanism of...

Tsunemine S, Nakagawa H, Suzuki Y, Murakami Y
Nucleic Acids Res . 2022 Oct; 50(19):10914-10928. PMID: 36200823
Centromeres of most eukaryotes consist of two distinct chromatin domains: a kinetochore domain, identified by the histone H3 variant, CENP-A, and a heterochromatic domain. How these two domains are separated...

Tsukii K, Takahata S, Murakami Y
Genes Cells . 2021 Dec; 27(2):93-112. PMID: 34910346
H2A.Z, an evolutionally well-conserved histone H2A variant, is involved in many biological processes. Although the function of H2A.Z in euchromatic gene regulation is well known, its function and deposition mechanism...
