Journal ArticleDOI

Arabidopsis COP10 forms a complex with DDB1 and DET1 in vivo and enhances the activity of ubiquitin conjugating enzymes

TL;DR: The data suggests that COP10, along with COP1 and the CSN, promotes the degradation of positive regulators of photomorphogenesis, such as the transcription factor HY5, via the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system, and the CDD complex may act as a ubiquitylation-promoting factor to regulatePhotomorphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleosomal Elements That Control the Topography of the Barrier to Transcription

TL;DR: Each of these nucleosomal elements controls transcription elongation by affecting distinctly the density and duration of polymerase pauses, thus providing multiple and alternative mechanisms for control of gene expression by chromatin remodeling and transcription factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complete dissection of transcription elongation reveals slow translocation of RNA polymerase II in a linear ratchet mechanism

TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found that the forward translocation rate is comparable to the catalysis rate, revealing a linear, non-branched ratchet mechanism for the nucleotide addition cycle in which translocation is one of the rate-limiting steps.
Journal ArticleDOI

H2A.Z and H3.3 histone variants affect nucleosome structure: biochemical and biophysical studies.

TL;DR: Comparison of the properties of nucleosomes containing canonical histones and histone variants H2A.Z and H3.3 finds only subtle differences in the compaction and stability of the particles, which could be physiologically significant as nucleosome positions and linker histone binding partly determine factor binding accessibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acetylation of Vertebrate H2A.Z and Its Effect on the Structure of the Nucleosome

TL;DR: It is found that the change in NCP conformation induced by global histone acetylation is dependent on H2A/H2A.Z, which suggests that acetylated H 2A variants act synergistically with the acetylate forms of the core histone complement to alter the particle conformation.
