Abstract Genome organization is driven by forces affecting transcriptional state, but the relationship between transcription and genome architecture remains unclear. Here, we identified Drosophila factor Motif 1 Binding Protein (M1BP) in physical association with gypsy chromatin insulator core complex, including universal protein CP190. M1BP required for enhancer-blocking barrier activities of as well its proper nuclear localization. Genome-wide, specifically colocalizes CP190 at...
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in regulating the expression of protein-coding genes by directing degradation and/or repression translation gene transcripts. Growing evidence shows that miRNAs are indispensable player organismal development with its regulatory role growth and differentiation cell lineages. However, miRNA-mediated regulation environmental adaptation organisms largely unknown. To examine this potential capability, we characterized microRNAomes from...
Abstract Motivation ChIP-seq detects protein–DNA interactions within chromatin, such as that of chromatin structural components and transcription machinery. profiles are often noisy variable across replicates, posing a challenge to the development effective algorithms accurately detect differential peaks. Methods have recently been designed for this purpose but sometimes yield conflicting results inconsistent with underlying biology. Most existing perform well on limited datasets. To improve...
Mitochondrial functions can be regulated by membrane contact sites with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These mitochondria–ER (MERCs) are functionally heterogeneous and maintained various tethers. Here, we found that REEP5, an ER tubule-shaping protein, interacts Mitofusins 1/2 to mediate mitochondrial distribution throughout cytosol a new transport mechanism, “hitchhiking” tubular on microtubules. REEP5 depletion led reduced tethering increased perinuclear localization of mitochondria....
Chromatin insulators are DNA-protein complexes that can prevent the spread of repressive chromatin and block communication between enhancers promoters to regulate gene expression. In Drosophila, gypsy insulator complex consists three core proteins: CP190, Su(Hw), Mod(mdg4)67.2. These factors concentrate at nuclear foci termed bodies, changes in body localization have been observed mutants defective for function. Here, we identified NURF301/E(bx), a nucleosome remodeling factor, as novel...
