まとめ
RAG エンドヌクレアゼ
科学分野:
- 免疫学
- 分子生物学
- 遺伝学
背景:
- RAG内核酵素は,B細胞の原始体において,免疫グロブリン重鎖 (Igh) V (D) Jの組み立てを開始する.
- Ighの3'端にあるクロマチンのループドメインは,CTCF結合要素 (CBEs) によって固定され,このプロセスで役割を果たします.
- これらのドメイン内の再結合センター (RC) には,DとJHセグメントおよび強化剤を含む重要な要素が含まれています.
研究 の 目的:
- Igh V(D) J再結合におけるRAGエンドヌクレアスのスキャン作用を調査する.
- DとJHセグメントのRAG媒介による結合に染色体指向と染色体構造がどのように影響するかを決定する.
- 再結合センター内のDQ52結合のメカニズムを解明する.
主な方法:
- プラズミドベースの測定法を使用して,RAG内核酵素の活性を調べた.
- 核酸死Cas9を使ってRAGのスキャンを妨害した
- リコンビネーションセンター内のクロマチン相互作用の高解像度マッピングを行いました.
主要な成果:
- JH-23RSSの染色体指向は,RAGをD-12RSSの上流染色体をスキャンするように指示し,ほとんどのDセグメントの削除結合を媒介する.
- DQ52セグメントは,JHセグメントとは独立した拡散関連メカニズムで結合する.
- Cas9結合または転写などのRAGスキャンへの障害は,RAGの活動を焦点的に増加させ,ループの流出の障害に関連しています.
結論:
- RAGエンドヌクレアーススキャンは染色体指向によってプログラムされ,染色体ループのダイナミクスに影響されます.
- Dセグメント結合のメカニズムは異なるが,DQ52は異なる拡散ベースの経路を使用する.
- 染色体構造とRAGスキャンは,RAGターゲティングとV(D) Jアセンブリに影響を与えるスキャンへの障害で,複雑に結びついています.

13.1K
Chromatin looping plays a significant role in gene regulation; however, there have been no technological advances that allow for selective and reversible modification of chromatin loops. Here we describe a powerful system for chromatin loop re-organization using CRISPR-dCas9 (CLOuD9), demonstrated to selectively and reversibly modulate gene expression at targeted...

Chromatin Packaging
21.7K
Each human somatic cell contains 6 billion base-pairs of DNA. Each base-pair is 0.34 nm long, which means that each diploid cell contains a staggering 2 meters of DNA. How is such a long DNA strand packed inside a nucleus measuring only 10 - 20 microns in diameter?

In combination with specialized DNA binding protein called Histones, the DNA double helix forms a compact DNA: protein complex called chromatin. The chromatin itself is further compacted into higher-order...

Fundamental Attribution Error
13.7K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression
24.6K
Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation
49.4K
Histones are proteins that help organize DNA in eukaryotic nuclei by serving as “scaffolds” around which DNA can be wrapped, forming a complex called “chromatin”. These proteins can be modified through the addition of chemical groups, and these changes affect gene expression. Researchers use a technique called chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to better understand which DNA regions associate with specific histone modifications or other gene regulatory proteins.
