  2. 1. Gene regulation during development by chromatin and the Super Elongation Complex

    Author : Olle Dahlberg; Mattias Mannervik; Peter Gergen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila development; gene regulation; transcription; chromatin; P-TEFb; Super Elongation Complex; KDM4A; H3K36me3; H3K14ac; histone replacement; utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology;

    Abstract : Developmental processes are carefully controlled at the level of transcription to ensure that the fertilized egg develops into an adult organism. The mechanisms that controls transcription of protein-coding genes ultimately ensure that the Pol II machine synthesizes mRNA from the correct set of genes in every cell type. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulators of chromatin and transcription in Drosophila

    Author : Filip Crona; Mattias Mannervik; Fernando Azorin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transcription; chromatin; co-regulators; CBP; lysine demethylase; KDM4A; Brakeless; Drosophila; utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology;

    Abstract : Development of multicellular organisms is achieved by organized temporal and spatial patterns of gene expression leading to cell differentiation. Chromatin regulators control how the DNA is utilized by altering access of proteins to DNA and thereby function as co-factors in transcription. READ MORE

  5. 3. Methyltransferase Ash1, histone methylation and their impact on Polycomb repression

    Author : Eshagh Dorafshan Esfahani; Yuri B. Schwartz; Jan Larsson; Dale Dorsett; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Trithorax Group proteins; Polycomb Group proteins; PRC1; PRC2; PRE; histone methylation; histone ubiquitylation; Ash1; SET domain; H3K36; H3K27; Drosophila;

    Abstract : Antagonistic interactions between Polycomb Group (PcG) and Trithorax Group (TrxG) proteins orchestrate the expression of key developmental genes. Distinct maternally loaded repressors establish the silenced state of these genes in cells where they should not be expressed and later PcG proteins sense whether a target gene is inactive and maintain the repression throughout multiple cell divisions.
