  2. 6. Tumor Selective Antiproliferative Naphthoxylosides

    Author : Ulrika Aili; Glykobiologigruppen; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glycosaminoglycan; proteoglycan; heparan sulfate; xyloside; naphthoxyloside; histone H3 acetylation;

    Abstract : Proteoglycans (PG) are highly anionic macromolecules consisting of a core protein covalently substituted with long unbranched polysaccharide chains called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). PGs are central components in multicellular organisms, and they may occur in the extracellular matrix (ECM), at the cell surface, or in the secretory pathway. READ MORE

  4. 7. Characterization of Gcn5 histone acetyltransferase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

    Author : Anna Johnsson; Anthony Wright; Mattias Mannervik; Södertörns högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The organisation of eukaryotic DNA into chromatin provides a natural barrier that prevents full access to the DNA thereby inhibiting events such as transcription, replication and repair. In order for these DNA-related events to occur, the chromatin needs to be modified by chromatin remodelling or, by reversible post-translational modifications. READ MORE

  5. 8. Genome-wide patterns of histone modifications in fission yeast

    Author : Indranil Sinha; Karl Ekwall; Karin Dahlman-Wright; Södertörns högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : DNA is wrapped almost two times around a group of proteins called histones to form a chromosomal structure known as the nucleosome. Both DNA and histones can be modified with different chemical tags by several enzymes to activate or suppress a particular gene or group of genes. Histones can be covalently modified at several places. READ MORE

  6. 9. Histone deacetylases and their co-regulators in schizosaccharomyces pombe

    Author : Rebecka A. Silverstein; Karl Ekwall; Anthony Wright; Fred Van Leeuwen; Södertörns högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The DNA in every eukaryotic cell is wrapped around eight core histones to form the nucleosome. Therefore all events that involve DNA must also involve chromatin and nucleosomes. By regulating chromatin structure the cell can regulate the reactivity of the DNA. READ MORE

  7. 10. Mechanisms of Transgene Silencing in Neural Cells -Implications for Ex Vivo Gene Therapy to the Brain

    Author : Nina Rosenqvist; Neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurophysiology; Neurologi; Neurology; neuropsychology; ChIP; rat; transgene; insulator; differentiation; GFP; lentivirus; DNA methylation; histone deacetylation; chromatin; expression; silencing; stem cell; progenitor; gene therapy; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi; CNS; transplantation;

    Abstract : The use of genetically modifi ed neural stem and progenitor cells could possibly be a future strategy for repairing a brain suffering from neurodegeneration. However, so far it has proven diffi cult to maintain sufficient levels of a transferred gene in suitable cell types, after transplantation. READ MORE
