BIOL 483 Lecture Notes - Lecture 81: Chromatin, Ph1B, Mitosis
Document Summary
Compared reaction to no mini ph or when chromatin is in phase separated drops. In phase separated drops, even though highly compacted -> ub more efficiently. Phase separated drops enhance enzymatic activity of prc1. To summarise: found that with phase separated drops, can drive phase separation of chromatin to compact chromatin, compartmentalise chromatin and pcg proteins, and enhance prc1 activity. Chromatin shows slow dynamics as though it has a form of molecular memory so red chromatin initially in condensate stays tgt over some time scale. Cells showing other wt ph with fluorescent tags -> forms condennsates in nucleus that depend on sam. When there"s mini ph in cells -> never forms condensates at all. Occasionally there may be strange large condensates and it"s always a single condensate. Single protein doesn"t recapitualte full protein despite having sam domain. We rid of most of protein, so what is important for condensat reformation must be in that region.
