这篇讲什么
本文研究了真核染色体在有丝分裂中的凝聚机制,发现其行为符合聚电解质凝胶理论,表现为可逆的体积相变,在肿胀和塌缩状态之间转换。
原文开头
two- state system with interconversion by a volume phase transition Andrew J. Beel1†*, Pierre- Jean Matteï1†, Roger D. Kornberg1* the formation of metaphase chromosomes requires the activity of condensins, DNA translocases that reduce chromosomal length through the process of loop extrusion. Reduction of length, however, does not account for the increase in density of chromatin in condensed states. Here, we show that eukaryotic chromosomes are ionic hydrogels and that the chromosomal material is a two-state system, with interconversion between condensed and decondensed states through a volume phase transition, analogous to a liquid-gas transition. …
