CUL4-Based Ubiquitin Ligases in Chromatin Regulation: An Evolutionary Perspective by Makiko Nakagawa, Tadashi Nakagawa

“…Although Cullin (CUL) proteins lack intrinsic enzymatic activity, they participate in the formation of active ubiquitin ligase complexes, known as Cullin-Ring ubiquitin Ligases (CRLs), through their association with ROC1 or ROC2, along with substrate adaptor and receptor proteins. Mammalian genomes encode several CUL proteins (CUL1–9), each contributing to distinct CRLs. …”

Genomic and Computational Analysis of Novel SNPs in TNP1 Gene Promoter Region of Bos indicus Breeding Bulls by Kashif Hameed Anjum, Asif Nadeem, Maryam Javed, Hafiz Ishfaq Ahmad, Amjad Riaz, Wasim Shehzad, Jahanzaib Azhar, Muhammad Fahad Bhutta

“…Transition nuclear proteins (TNPs), the principal proteins identified in the condensing spermatids chromatin, have been found to play a key role in histone displacement and chromatin condensation during mammalian spermatogenesis. One such gene belonging to the TNP family called TNP1 gene is abundantly expressed in the regulation of spermatogenesis, and its sequence is remarkably well conserved among mammals. …”

Reorganisation of chromatin during erythroid differentiation by A. A. Khabarova, A. S. Ryzhkova, N. R. Battulin

“…Throughout erythropoiesis cells undergo a dramatic reorganization of the chromatin landscape leading to global nuclear condensation and transcriptional silencing, followed by nuclear extrusion at the final stage of mammalian erythropoiesis. Drastic changes of genome architecture and function accompanying erythroid differentiation seem to be an informative model for studying the ways of how genome organization and dynamic gene activity are connected. …”

Restoration of Genetic Code in Macular Mouse Fibroblasts via APOBEC1-Mediated RNA Editing by Sonali Bhakta, Hiroko Kodama, Masakazu Mimaki, Toshifumi Tsukahara

“…RNA editing is a significant mechanism underlying genetic variation and protein molecule alteration; C-to-U RNA editing, specifically, is important in the regulation of mammalian genetic diversity. The ability to define and limit accesses of enzymatic machinery to avoid the modification of unintended targets is key to the success of RNA editing. …”
