Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular basis for the discrimination of repressive methyl-lysine marks in histone H3 by Polycomb and HP1 chromodomains

TL;DR: It is shown that the chromodomain proteins Polycomb (Pc) and HP1 (heterochromatin protein 1) are highly discriminatory for binding to these sites in vivo and in vitro, and a role for their Chromodomains in both target site binding and discrimination is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of a yeast TBP/TATA-box complex.

TL;DR: The 2.5 Å crystal structure of a TATA-box complex with yeast TBP shows that the eight base pairs of the TATA box bind to the concave surface of TBP by bending towards the major groove with unprecedented severity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein production and purification.

Susanne Gräslund, +86 more
- 01 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: This review presents methods that could be applied at the outset of any project, a prioritized list of alternate strategies and a list of pitfalls that trip many new investigators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Double chromodomains cooperate to recognize the methylated histone H3 tail

TL;DR: It is shown that the human CHD1 double chromodomains target the lysine 4-methylated histone H3 tail (H3K4me), a hallmark of active chromatin, and its interactions with histone tails.
Journal ArticleDOI

Refinement of Eco RI endonuclease crystal structure: a revised protein chain tracing.

TL;DR: The original model of Eco RI endonuclease proved refractory to crystallographic refinement, whereby model coordinates were adjusted to optimize the fit to the observed diffraction data, and five additional isomorphous derivatives were obtained by cocrystallizing the protein with the halogenated oligonucleotides.
