Article Abstract
Chromatin remodeling serves as a critical mechanism for gene regulation, enabling the replacement of canonical histones with their variants through the assistance of histone chaperones. Our study focused on the process by which the histone variant H2A.Z replaces H2A, mediated by the mammalian SRCAP chromatin remodeling complex subunit hYL1. Previous approaches typically involved separately expressing the two proteins and validating their interaction in vitro. In contrast, we designed an artificial single-chain hH2B-hH2A.Z (hTBZ) construct, co-transformed the hYL1 gene with hTBZ, and co-expressed the proteins in E. coli BL21(DE3). We then performed purification, fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC), and SDS-PAGE analysis. This approach successfully yielded the complexed proteins, confirming the in vivo interaction between hYL1 and hTBZ. © 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol: Co-transformation of hTBZ/YL1 into BL21 (DE3) competent cells, followed by induction and acquisition of protein.

The effect of non-functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) with diameters of 29, 44, and 72 nm on plasmid DNA integrity and the expression of genes involved in the architecture of chromatin was investigated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The cells were incubated with PS-NPs at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 100 µg/mL for 24 hours.

Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), and despite progress in molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies, their prognosis remains poor. In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment modality in cancer therapy. However, the inevitable immune evasion by tumor cells is a key barrier affecting therapeutic efficacy.

In the presence of chromatin bridges in cytokinesis, human cells retain actin-rich structures (actin patches) at the base of the intercellular canal to prevent chromosome breakage. Here, we show that daughter nuclei connected by chromatin bridges are under mechanical tension that requires interaction of the nuclear membrane Sun1/2-Nesprin-2 Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex with the actin cytoskeleton, and an intact nuclear lamina. This nuclear tension promotes accumulation of Sun1/2-Nesprin-2 proteins at the base of chromatin bridges and local enrichment of the RhoA-activator PDZ RhoGEF through PDZ-binding to cytoplasmic Nesprin-2 spectrin repeats.

Introduction Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms with both clinical and genetic diversity. The clinical applicability of molecular profiling using liquid biopsy for identifying actionable drug targets and prognostic indicators in patients with advanced NETs remains unclear. Methods In this study, we utilized a custom-made 37 genes panel of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 47 patients with advanced NETs.

Nucleosome repositioning is essential for establishing nucleosome-depleted regions to initiate transcription. This process has been extensively studied using structural, biochemical, and single-molecule approaches, which require homogeneously positioned nucleosomes. This is often achieved using the Widom 601 sequence, a highly efficient nucleosome-positioning element (NPE) selected for its unusually strong binding to the H3-H4 histone tetramer.
