Three-dimensional chromatin interactions remain stable upon CAG/CTG repeat expansion

Marion Leleu, Flavia Marzetta, Ludovica Vanzan

Expanded CAG/CTG repeats underlie 13 neurological disorders, including myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Huntington's disease (HD). Upon expansion, disease loci acquire heterochromatic characteristics, which may provoke changes to chromatin conformation ...

A complex regulatory landscape involved in the development of mammalian external genitals

Denis Duboule, Lucille Delisle, Christopher Chase Bolt

Developmental genes are often controlled by large regulatory landscapes matching topologically associating domains (TADs). In various contexts, the associated chromatin backbone is modified by specific enhancer-enhancer and enhancer-promoter interactions. ...

Computational study of transcription factor binding sites

Romain Fernand Pietro Groux

Any living organism contains a whole set of instructions encoded as genes on the DNA. This set of instructions contains all the necessary information that the organism will ever need, from its development to a mature individual to environment specific resp ...

Chromatin topology and the timing of enhancer function at the HoxD locus

Denis Duboule, Lucille Delisle

The HoxD gene cluster is critical for proper limb formation in tetrapods. In the emerging limb buds, different subgroups of Hoxd genes respond first to a proximal regulatory signal, then to a distal signal that organizes digits. These two regulations are e ...

Fryns type mesomelic dysplasia of the upper limbs caused by inverted duplications of the HOXD gene cluster

Denis Duboule

The HoxD cluster is critical for vertebrate limb development. Enhancers located in both the telomeric and centromeric gene deserts flanking the cluster regulate the transcription of HoxD genes. In rare patients, duplications, balanced translocations or inv ...

Observing protein interaction dynamics to chemically defined chromatin fibers by colocalization single-molecule fluorescence microscopy

Beat Fierz, Maxime Nicolas Mivelaz

In eukaryotic cells, the genome is packaged into chromatin and exists in different states, ranging from open euchromatic regions to highly condensed heterochromatic regions. Chromatin states are highly dynamic and are organized by an interplay of histone p ...

Development of chemical biology tools to reveal the function and organization of the silenced chromatin state

Nora Guidotti

Effector proteins are recruited to chromatin via transient interactions between their reader domains and histone post-translational modification (PTM) patterns. These interactions form signaling pathways that control gene expression or repression and which ...

Histone Modifications in Development and Malignancy

Elisa Oricchio

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) development is driven by the accumulations of multiple genetic, epigenetic, and chromosomal alterations. These lesions can lead to modifications of the chromatin architecture. To identify novel oncogenic interactions driven by mo ...

EZH2 oncogenic mutations drive epigenetic, transcriptional, and structural changes within chromatin domains

Suliana Manley, Elisa Oricchio, Kyle Michael Douglass, Daniele Tavernari, Elena Battistello, Natalya Katanayeva, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Maria Christine Donaldson, Timo Henry René Rey

Chromatin is organized into topologically associating domains (TADs) enriched in distinct histone marks. In cancer, gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the enhancer of zeste homolog 2 protein (EZH2) lead to a genome-wide increase in histone-3 L ...

Chromatin three-dimensional interactions mediate genetic effects on gene expression

David Hacker, Philipp Bucher, Giovanna Ambrosini, Aurélien Dominique Reymond

Studying the genetic basis of gene expression and chromatin organization is key to characterizing the effect of genetic variability on the function and structure of the human genome. Here we unravel how genetic variation perturbs gene regulation using a da ...

Analysis of long-range gene regulation at the HoxD locus

Ana Rita De Carvalho Amândio Lhopitallier

Hoxd genes are essential for the development of the various body axes in vertebrates and hence the underlying regulatory mechanisms are of paramount importance. Among these various mechanisms are long-range acting enhancers, which are located in the two ad ...

A Tale of Two Tumors: Unraveling the Complexities of Epigenetic Dysregulation in Cancer

Maria Christine Donaldson

Epigenetics plays an important role in cancer development and progression. Cancer cells hijack the epigenome by modifying the histone protein units responsible for packaging DNA, or by modifying the DNA itself, resulting in changes to chromatin topology an ...
