Non-equilibrium chromosome looping via molecular slip-links
C. A. Brackley, J. Johnson, D. Michieletto +4
We propose a model for the formation of chromatin loops based on the diffusive sliding of a DNA-bound factor which can dimerise to form a molecular slip-link. Our slip-links mimic…

Ephemeral protein binding to DNA shapes stable nuclear bodies and chromatin domains
C. A. Brackley, B. Liebchen, D. Michieletto +3
Fluorescence microscopy reveals that the contents of many (membrane-free) nuclear "bodies" exchange rapidly with the soluble pool whilst the underlying structure persists; such obs…
