EpigeneticsCourseranotes. Non-coding RNAs in Colorectal Cancer. Chromatin Remodeling and the Control of Gene Expression. Carl Wu‡ + Author Affiliations Biochemical and genetic findings accumulated over the past decade have established that the condensation of eukaryotic DNA in chromatin functions not only to constrain the genome within the boundaries of the cell nucleus but also to suppress gene activity in a general manner. This genetic repression extends from the level of the nucleosome, the primary unit of chromatin organization, where coiling of DNA on the surface of the nucleosome core particle impedes access to the transcriptional apparatus, to the higher order folding of nucleosome arrays and the organization of silent regions of chromatin (for reviews see Refs. 1-6 and 105).
Chromatin structure is inextricably linked to transcriptional regulation, and recent studies show how chromatin is perturbed so as to facilitate transcription (for reviews see Refs. 7-12).

Kiyoshi Nagai - MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. The removal of introns from nuclear pre-mRNA and splicing together of exons into a continuous translatable coding sequence is catalyzed by a large and dynamic RNA-protein machine known as the spliceosome. Five small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (U1, U2, U4/U6 and U5 snRNPs) and numerous non-snRNP factors assemble at each intron in the pre-mRNA to form a spliceosome.
Subsequently the spliceosome undergoes extensive compositional and structural changes to become catalytically active. How does the spliceosome assemble and carry out its function? How did a molecular machine as immense and complex as the spliceosome evolve in the Eukaryotic lineage? U1 snRNP binds to the 5’ splice site of pre-mRNA and initiates the assembly of the spliceosome. We determined the structure of yeast U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP by cryoEM single-particle reconstruction first at 5.9 Å resolution (Nguyen et al., 2015) and then at 3.7 Å overall resolution (Nguyen et al., 2016).

This article from the Mitalipov group (Kang et al. 2016) came out at a particularly interesting time, since it followed closely on the report from a US-based team in Mexico on the successful birth of a baby to a mother with the mitochondrial mutation causing Leigh syndrome, which had been corrected by transfer of maternal nuclear DNA to a donor oocyte (Hamzelou 2016).
It was also published on the same day as the decision by the HFEA that clinics are now free to apply for permission to carry out mitochondrial replacement, with the first patients expected to be seen as early as Spring 2017 (Forster 2016). The paper from Kang et al., (2016) details studies performed with oocytes from four families with Leigh syndrome and one with MELAS, both associated with mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Characterisation of the mtDNA burden in tissues from the patients and their children highlighted the problem with genetic testing for this condition. References Forster, K. (2016). Hyslop, L. Dr Luca Magnani. Summary Cancer cells exhibit altered transcriptional profiles when compared to their tissue of origin. Genetic alterations participate in promoting defective transcription, however they don't explain the full spectrum of aberrations found in malignant tissues. Gene expression is also controlled via modifications of the chromatin landscape including DNA methylation, histone modifications and chromatin remodelling.
Our objective is to characterize the role of the chromatin landcape in oncogenesis. A second goal is to understand how cancer cells reprogram the chromatin landscape to escape treatment. We have used breast cancer models to demonstrate that epigenetic reprogramming of the chromatin landscape promotes the expression of genes directly related to resistance to endocrine therapies. We can create epigenomic maps to study the regulatory networks of cancer cells and determine how these networks respond to therapies. More information can be found here. Links to video animations.
