Book excerpt: Abstract: The process of gastrulation results in the three-layered embryo and is characterized by a precise context- and time-specific regulation of transcriptional activity. The early expressed T-box transcription factor EOMES plays a crucial role by conducting the specification of mesoderm and endoderm and preventing the specification of neuroectodermal derivates. The exact molecular mechanisms of this first cell-lineage specification are still unknown. Latest findings indicate that the presence of EOMES at ME genes results in an open chromatin state while binding to already accessible NE enhancers has repressive effects. These changes in chromatin are in accordance to an association of EOMES with chromatin remodeling complexes found in mass spectrometry analysis. Particularly several components of the multi-subunit complexes BAF and NuRD emerged from a large spectrum of potential interaction partners. Mammalian BAF complex, member of the SWI/SNF family, is mainly considered to create an accessible chromatin state and allows active gene expression. In contrast, activity of the NuRD complex mostly results in a closed chromatin formation and transcriptional repression. Both ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes have a wide cellular distribution and were shown to have indispensable roles in development by cooperating with tissue-specific co-regulators. This project aimed to better characterize the T-box factor induced chromatin remodeling by identifying the interacting subunit(s) of BAF and NuRD complex. The experimental setting included transfection of HEK293T cells and P19CL6 cells, co-immunoprecipitation and analysis on Western Blot. As specific interactors of EOMES, BAF60B of the BAF complex and MBD3 of the NuRD complex were identified. The recruitment of chromatin remodeling complexes via unique subcomponents is a possible mechanism to specifically influence transcriptional activity on target genes. Hereby, the cooperation of EOMES and BAF complex would result in accessible chromatin at ME genes, while interaction with NuRD complex would prevent expression of NE and pluripotency genes. Furthermore, the characteristic appearance of EOMES protein as three bands on Western blots was analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS). Additional bands are larger than the expected molecular weight of EOMES, thus I focused on post-translational modifications. A preliminary MS analysis revealed ubiquitination as possible modification. If ubiquitination has a functional impact on EOMES requires further studies. In summary, this project gives further proof of direct interaction of EOMES and chromatin remodeling complexes BAF and NuRD and serves a model where chromatin remodeling importantly contributes to the specific functions of T-box factors. The detailed effects of this cooperation on transcriptional chromatin-based and T-box dependent regulation during the first cell lineage decision needs further investigation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication of the first edition in 1995, there have been significant advances and understanding of chromatin structure and its relation to gene expression. These include a high-resolution structure of the nucleosome core, discovery of the enzymes and complexes that mediate histone acetylation and deacetylation, discovery of novel ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, new insights into nuclear organization and epigenetic silencing mechanisms. In light of these advances, Chromatin Structure and Gene Expression (2ed.) includes updated chapters and additional material that introduce new concepts in the process of gene regulation in chromatin.

Book excerpt: An early view of eukaryotic chromosomes was that of static structures, which stored DNA not in use within a given cell type. It was thought that packaging of DNA into higher levels of chromatin structure would suffice to repress gene expression and that the challenge to the cell would be to rescue specific sequences from these structures. The exten sive packaging of inactive DNA was considered the primary difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes and except for that point both would be similarly regulated by cis-acting sequences and trans acting factors. Our view of eukaryotic chromosomes has evolved dra matically over the last decade. The picture of chromosomes that is emerging is that of dynamic breathing organelles actively regulating the flow of genetic information from the genome. Indeed chromatin is so fluid that even maintaining gene quiescence is an active process and is tightly regulated. Chromatin dynamics is a consequence of protein complexes that modify histones, remove histone modifications, mobi lize nucleosomes or stabilize nucleosomes. Awide variety of such com plexes have now been described. Some are abundant and may play glo bal roles in chromosome fluidity and function. Others are more rare and specialized for specific functions at discreet loci. Moreover, several complexes share biochemical activities and genetic studies suggest overlapping functions in vivo. Many components of these complexes were first revealed in genetic screens, while others were discovered by novel cell biological or biochemical approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chromatin Regulation and Dynamics integrates knowledge on the dynamic regulation of primary chromatin fiber with the 3D nuclear architecture, then connects related processes to circadian regulation of cellular metabolic states, representing a paradigm of adaptation to environmental changes. The final chapters discuss the many ways chromatin dynamics can synergize to fundamentally contribute to the development of complex diseases. Chromatin dynamics, which is strategically positioned at the gene-environment interface, is at the core of disease development. As such, Chromatin Regulation and Dynamics, part of the Translational Epigenetics series, facilitates the flow of information between research areas such as chromatin regulation, developmental biology, and epidemiology by focusing on recent findings of the fast-moving field of chromatin regulation. Presents and discusses novel principles of chromatin regulation and dynamics with a cross-disciplinary perspective Promotes crosstalk between basic sciences and their applications in medicine Provides a framework for future studies on complex diseases by integrating various aspects of chromatin biology with cellular metabolic states, with an emphasis on the dynamic nature of chromatin and stochastic principles Integrates knowledge on the dynamic regulation of primary chromatin fiber with 3D nuclear architecture, then connects related processes to circadian regulation of cellular metabolic states, representing a paradigm of adaptation to environmental changes

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulation of gene expression is vital for proper growth and prevention of disease states. In eukaryotes this regulation occurs in the context of chromatin which creates an inherent barrier for the binding of trans-acting factors, such as transcription factors and RNA polymerase. This dissertation focuses on the role of transcriptional activators and chromatin remodeling coactivators in the regulation of the repressible acid phosphatase gene PHO5. Our studies show that histone methylation at lysine 4 of histone H3 is required for the full repression of PHO5and GAL1-10. We show that bromodomains, a domain conserved in chromatin remodeling coactivators, may function to stabilize binding. Finally, we present a strategy using DNA methyltransferases as in vivo probes to detect DNA-protein interactions and examine chromatin structure. We extend this strategy to zinc-finger proteins which can be engineered to bind to any desired DNA sequence as a means of targeting methylation with potential use in epigenetic silencing.
