Cell cycle transcription control: DREAM/MuvB and RB-E2F complexes

M Fischer, GA Müller - Critical reviews in biochemistry and …, 2017‏ - Taylor & Francis
The precise timing of cell cycle gene expression is critical for the control of cell proliferation;
de-regulation of this timing promotes the formation of cancer and leads to defects during …

Multifunctional histone variants in genome function

LH Wong, DJ Tremethick - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2024‏ - nature.com

Cohesin-dependent and-independent mechanisms mediate chromosomal contacts between promoters and enhancers

MJ Thiecke, G Wutz, M Muhar, W Tang, S Bevan… - Cell reports, 2020‏ - cell.com
It is currently assumed that 3D chromosomal organization plays a central role in
transcriptional control. However, depletion of cohesin and CTCF affects the steady-state …

Dual role of the histone variant H2A. Z in transcriptional regulation of stress-response genes

W Sura, M Kabza, WM Karlowski, T Bieluszewski… - The Plant …, 2017‏ - academic.oup.com
The influence of the histone variant H2A. Z on transcription remains a long-standing
conundrum. Here, by analyzing the actin-related protein6 mutant, which is impaired in H2A …

Condensin I folds the Caenorhabditis elegans genome
