Transcription Factor-Directed Re-wiring of Chromatin Architecture for Somatic Cell Nuclear Reprogramming toward trans-Differentiation.

abstract：:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, telomere replication occurs in late S phase and is accompanied by dynamic remodeling of its protein components. Here, we show that MRX (Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2), an evolutionarily conserved protein complex involved in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, is recruited to the telomeres in late S p...

abstract：:The presence of microbial or self DNA in the cytoplasm of mammalian cells is a danger signal detected by the DNA sensor cyclic-GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), which catalyzes the production of cGAMP that in turn serves as a second messenger to activate innate immune responses. Here we show that endogenous cGAMP in ma...
