Circadian structural transitions of chromatin
Transcription factors (TFs) distinctly mark regions of the genome for expression and are the pillars of cell identity. Yet, even at the basic level of DNA recognition by TFs, we know very little about how this is achieved. In eukaryotes, all DNA-templated processes occur in chromatin; however, most studies elucidating the molecular mechanisms of transcription have been performed on histone-free DNA. In the proposed project, we will use TFs as centerpieces to understand how, in the circadian system, the interplay between transcriptional regulatory complexes and chromatin shapes the eukaryotic genome to control gene expression. Specifically, we will use biochemical approaches paired with…
