Published: August 2013

Imaging molecularly defined regions of chromatin in single living cells during transcriptional activation has the potential to provide new insight into gene regulatory mechanisms. Here, we describe a method for isolating cell lines with multi-copy arrays of reporter transgenes, which can be used for real-time high-resolution imaging of transcriptional activation dynamics in single cells.

Previous studies in sports science suggested that regular exercise has a positive impact on human health. However, the effects of endurance sports and their underlying mechanisms are still not completely understood. One of the main debates regards the modulation of immune dynamics in high-intensity exercise.

The 26S proteasome degrades the majority of cellular proteins and affects all aspects of cellular life. Therefore, the 26S proteasome abundance, proper assembly, and activity in different life contexts need to be precisely controlled. Impaired proteasome activity is considered a causative factor in several serious disorders.

Background: FOXF2, a member of the transcription factor FOX family proteins, plays a key role in tumorigenesis and tumor aggressiveness. However, the potential molecular mechanism of FOXF2 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains largely unknown. Exploring its role and mechanism in ESCC progression may help identify new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.

Ferroptosis is linked to various tumor biological traits, and alternative splicing (AS), a crucial step in mRNA processing, plays a role in the post-transcriptional regulation of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs). A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalized Cox regression analysis was utilized to build a prognostic signature based on 12 AS events (p < 0.05), which was validated in gastric cancer (GC) patients.

Herpesviruses mimic zygotic genome activation to promote viral replication.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Institute of Virology, University Medical Center, and Faculty of Medicine, Albert-Ludwig-University Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.

Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is crucial for maternal to zygotic transition at the 2-8-cell stage in order to overcome silencing of genes and enable transcription from the zygotic genome. In humans, ZGA is induced by DUX4, a pioneer factor that drives expression of downstream germline-specific genes and retroelements. Here we show that herpesviruses from all subfamilies, papillomaviruses and Merkel cell polyomavirus actively induce DUX4 expression to promote viral transcription and replication.
