Applying Peptide and Protein Synthesis to Study Post-translational Modifications in Epigenetics and Beyond

Beat Fierz

Epigenetics research focuses on the study of heritable gene regulatory mechanisms that do not involve changes of the DNA sequence. Such mechanisms include post-translational modifications of histone proteins that organize the genome in the nucleus into a n ...

Tuning SAS-6 architecture with monobodies impairs distinct steps of centriole assembly

Pierre Gönczy, Georg Fantner, Oliver Hantschel, Santiago Harald Andany, Niccolo Banterle, Virginie Hamel, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Tatiana Favez

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved multi-protein organelles essential for forming cilia and centrosomes. Centriole biogenesis begins with self-assembly of SAS-6 proteins into 9-fold symmetrical ring polymers, which then stack into a cartwheel that sca ...

Redox Properties of Native and Damaged DNA from Mixed Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanics Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Polydefkis Diamantis

The redox properties of two large DNA fragments composed of 39 base pairs, differing only by an 8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) defect replacing a guanine (G), were investigated in physiological conditions using mixed quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) m ...

PRDX1 Counteracts Catastrophic Telomeric Cleavage Events That Are Triggered by DNA Repair Activities Post Oxidative Damage

Joachim Lingner, Wareed Ahmed

Telomeres are prone to damage inflicted by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidized telomeric DNA and nucleotide substrates inhibit telomerase, causing telomere shortening. In addition, ROS can induce telomeric single-strand DNA breaks (SSBs). The peroxired ...

Exploring on Protein-DNA interactions

Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi

A variety of DNA-binding proteins organizes the chromosomal DNA and regulates gene transcription, and DNA replication and recombination. In particular, for gene regulation there is a category of DNA-binding proteins, the transcription factors, which can de ...
