  2. Chromosome scaffold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_scaffold

    The enzyme DNA topoisomerase IIα prominently appears along the chromosome axis as part of the scaffold. [3] In mitosis, it is concentrated at the centromeres and the axis along the chromosome arms. It is thought that the protein has a role in untangling the DNA as the loops become more concentrated along the axis during the condensation of the ...

  3. Scaffold protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffold_protein

    Chromosome scaffold has important role to hold the chromatin into compact chromosome. Chromosome scaffold is made of proteins including condensin, topoisomerase IIα and kinesin family member 4 (KIF4) [27] Chromosome scaffold constituent proteins are also called scaffold protein. In enzymatic reaction Large multifunctional enzymes that performs ...

    the dynamic properties of S/MAR-scaffold contacts as derived by haloFISH investigations [5] the fact that during transcription DNA is reeled through RNA-polymerase which itself is a fixed component of the nuclear matrix [6] the fact that certain domain-intrinsic S/MARs require the support of an adjacent transcription factor to become active. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-histone_protein

    They play vital roles in regulating processes like nucleosome remodeling, DNA replication, RNA synthesis and processing, nuclear transport, steroid hormone action and interphase/mitosis transition. [1] Scaffold proteins, DNA polymerase, Heterochromatin Protein 1 and Polycomb are common non-histone proteins. This classification group also ...

  6. Solenoid (DNA) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(DNA)

    This supercoil is formed by regions of DNA called scaffold/matrix attachment regions (SMARs) attaching to a central scaffolding matrix in the nucleus creating loops of solenoid chromatin between 4.5 and 112 kilobase pairs long. [12] The central scaffolding matrix itself forms a spiral shape for an additional layer of compaction. [12]

  7. Scaffolding (bioinformatics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffolding_(bioinformatics)

    This is an example of a scaffold. Scaffolding is a technique used in bioinformatics. It is defined as follows: [1] Link together a non-contiguous series of genomic sequences into a scaffold, consisting of sequences separated by gaps of known length. The sequences that are linked are typically contiguous sequences corresponding to read overlaps.

  8. DNA condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_condensation

    Chromosome scaffold has important role to hold the chromatin into compact chromosome. Chromosome scaffold is made of proteins including condensin, topoisomerase IIα and kinesin family member 4 (KIF4) [7] Dinoflagellates are very divergent eukaryotes in terms of how they package their DNA. Their chromosomes are packed in a liquid-crystalline ...
