Functional Characterization of Human Nucleosome Assembly Protein-2 (NAP1L4) Suggests a Role as a Histone Chaperone

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The results, coupled with tumor suppression assays in G401 WT cells, do not support a role for NAP-2 in the etiology of WT and indicate that it can shuttle between the cytoplasm and the nucleus, suggesting a role as a histone chaperone.

Identification of Novel MAP Kinase Pathway Signaling Targets by Functional Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry

TL;DR: This study combines functional proteomics with selective activation and inhibition of MKK1/2, in order to identify cellular targets regulated by the MKK/ERK cascade, and demonstrates the utility of this discovery-based strategy in elucidating novel MAP kinase pathway effectors.

Histone chaperones: 30 years from isolation to elucidation of the mechanisms of nucleosome assembly and disassembly

TL;DR: An overview of prominent histone chaperones is provided with the goal of elucidating the mechanisms that preserve and modify epigenetic information and the reactions involved in nucleosome assembly and disassembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure of nucleosome assembly protein 1.

TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first structure of a member of the large NAP family of proteins and suggests a mechanism by which the shuttling of histones to and from the nucleus is regulated.

A role for nucleosome assembly protein 1 in the nuclear transport of histones H2A and H2B

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nucleosome assembly protein 1 (Nap1p), a protein previously implicated in the deposition of histones H2A and H2B, is also involved in the transport of these two histones, and a model in which Nap1p links the nuclear transport of H2 a and H 2B to chromatin assembly is proposed.

Identification of Novel Imprinted Genes in a Genome-Wide Screen for Maternal Methylation

TL;DR: A genome-wide screen for novel imprinted loci is performed to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) methylated specifically on the maternal allele of parthenogenetic mouse embryos, and two of the three novel genes identified are located within the introns of other genes; their identification indicates that such "microimprinted" domains may be more common than previously thought.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors

TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

Accurate transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in a soluble extract from isolated mammalian nuclei

TL;DR: A procedure for preparing extracts from nuclei of human tissue culture cells that directs accurate transcription initiation in vitro from class II promoters, including tRNA and Ad 2 VA, is developed.

Nuclear targeting sequences--a consensus?

TL;DR: It is suggested in this review that, despite this diversity of nuclear targeting sequences, a consensus bipartite motif can be identified.
