Mechanism of nucleosome assembly during DNA replication
Proper inheritance of the epigenetic information during cell division controls cell fate decisions, tissues homeostasis and development, ensuring disease avoidance. We have little understanding however of the mechanisms by which epigenetic information, specifically histone post-translational modifications in nucleosomes, are replicated in parallel to the DNA prior to cell division. This process strictly depends on proper nucleosome formation on the newly synthesized DNA strands. Here, I will study the molecular mechanism of nucleosome assembly during DNA replication. Nucleosome dynamics during DNA replication is controlled by an interconnected network of histone chaperones that converges on…
