Dynamic Mapping of the Methylproteome Using a Chemoenzymatic Approach.

Dynamic protein post-translational methylation is essential for cellular function, highlighted by the essential role of methylation in transcriptional regulation and its aberrant dysregulation in diseases, including cancer. This underscores the importance of cataloging the cellular methylproteome. However, comprehensive analysis of the methylproteome remains elusive due to limitations in current enrichment and analysis pipelines.

A Retrospective Review Comparing Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency with BodyTite Bipolar Radiofrequency after Liposuction or Body Contouring.

Background: Driven by demand for nonexcisional alternatives to address lax skin following liposuction, various energy-based technologies have become available. Helium plasma radiofrequency (RF) and bipolar RF have gained prominence. These technologies have distinctly different methods of action and indications, potentially influencing procedural safety and duration.

Differences in transcription initiation directionality underlie distinctions between plants and animals in chromatin modification patterns at genes and cis-regulatory elements.

Transcriptional initiation is among the first regulated steps controlling eukaryotic gene expression. High-throughput profiling of fungal and animal genomes has revealed that RNA Polymerase II often initiates transcription in both directions at the promoter transcription start site, but generally only elongates productively into the gene body. Additionally, Pol II can initiate transcription in both directions at cis-regulatory elements such as enhancers.

Transcriptional initiation is among the first regulated steps controlling eukaryotic gene expression. High-throughput profiling of fungal and animal genomes has revealed that RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) often initiates transcription in both directions at the promoter transcription start site (TSS), but generally only elongates productively into the gene body. Additionally, Pol II can initiate transcription in both directions at cis-regulatory elements (CREs) such as enhancers.

Replacement of Arabidopsis H2A.Z with human H2A.Z orthologs reveals extensive functional conservation and limited importance of the N-terminal tail sequence for Arabidopsis development.

The incorporation of histone variants, distinct paralogs of core histones, into chromatin affects all DNA-templated processes in the cell, including the regulation of transcription. In recent years, much research has been focused on H2A.Z, an evolutionarily conserved H2A variant found in all eukaryotes.
