Of Dots and Stripes: The Morse Code of Micro-C Reveals the Ultrastructure of Transcriptional and Architectural Mammalian 3D Genome Organization.

Abstract:

:Using Micro-C, Hsieh et al. (2020) and Krietenstein et al. (2020) investigated 3D chromatin folding in human and mouse cells at unprecedented resolution to uncover ultra-fine-scale chromatin structures that provide direct links between genome architecture, gene expression, and gene regulation.

  • The response regulator BvgA and RNA polymerase alpha subunit C-terminal domain bind simultaneously to different faces of the same segment of promoter DNA.

    abstract::Examination of the binding of FeBABE-conjugated BvgA to the fha promoter of Bordetella pertussis has revealed that three dimers, formed by head-to-head association of monomers, bind one face of the DNA helix from the inverted-heptad primary binding site to the -35 region. The orientation of BvgA monomers within the di...
