We used cryoET and biophysical approaches in vitro together with molecular biology in differentiated cells to show that chromatin compacted by PRC1-CBX8 is porous and accessible while PRC1 is dynamic in it. 🧪🧬

Dynamic PRC1–CBX8 stabilizes a porous structure of chromatin condensates - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology
Here the authors show that a gene-inactivating protein complex packs inactive genes into a dynamic and accessible structure. The study challenges the traditional views that restricted accessibility an...

🧵 1/ We’re excited to share that our new paper with
@adrianbracken.bsky.social
lab is out 🎉 In this study (which began over 10 years ago!), we explore the biology of PRC2 and PRC1 in non-dividing cells. We also explore the effects of PRC2 inhibitor drugs on these cells. Here’s what we found👇
