The sperm nucleus: chromatin, RNA and the nuclear matrix

GD Johnson, C Lalancette… - Reproduction …, 2010 - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Within the sperm nucleus the paternal genome remains functionally inert and protected
following protamination. This is marked by a structural morphogenesis that is heralded by a …

Role of sperm DNA damage in creating de-novo mutations in human offspring: the 'post-meiotic oocyte collusion'hypothesis

RJ Aitken - Reproductive Biomedicine Online, 2022 - Elsevier
Spermatogonial stem cells exhibit a low level of spontaneous mutation that is heavily
impacted by paternal age via mechanisms that appear to involve the aberrant repair of DNA …

Spatial genome organization in the formation of chromosomal translocations

KJ Meaburn, T Misteli, E Soutoglou - Seminars in cancer biology, 2007 - Elsevier
Chromosomal translocations and genomic instability are universal hallmarks of tumor cells.
While the molecular mechanisms leading to the formation of translocations are rapidly being …

Rapid chromosome territory relocation by nuclear motor activity in response to serum removal in primary human fibroblasts

IS Mehta, M Amira, AJ Harvey, JM Bridger - Genome biology, 2010 - Springer
Background Radial chromosome positioning in interphase nuclei is nonrandom and can
alter according to developmental, differentiation, proliferation, or disease status. However, it …

The genome and the nucleus: a marriage made by evolution: genome organisation and nuclear architecture

HA Foster, JM Bridger - Chromosoma, 2005 - Springer
Genomes are housed within cell nuclei as individual chromosome territories. Nuclei contain
several architectural structures that interact and influence the genome. In this review, we …

Mechanotransduction from the ECM to the genome: are the pieces now in place?

RS Gieni, MJ Hendzel - Journal of cellular biochemistry, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
A multitude of biochemical signaling processes have been characterized that affect gene
expression and cellular activity. However, living cells often need to integrate biochemical …

Species-specific differences in sperm chromatin decondensation between eutherian mammals underlie distinct lysis requirements

J Ribas-Maynou, E Garcia-Bonavila… - Frontiers in Cell and …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Sperm present a highly particular DNA condensation that is acquired during their
differentiation. Protamines are key elements for DNA condensation. However, whereas the …

The nuclear lamina: both a structural framework and a platform for genome organization

JM Bridger, N Foeger, IR Kill, H Herrmann - The FEBS journal, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
The inner face of the nuclear envelope of metazoan cells is covered by a thin lamina
consisting of a one‐layered network of intermediate filaments interconnecting with a …

Locus-specific and activity-independent gene repositioning during early tumorigenesis

KJ Meaburn, T Misteli - The Journal of cell biology, 2008 - rupress.org
The mammalian genome is highly organized within the cell nucleus. The nuclear position of
many genes and genomic regions changes during physiological processes such as …
