Breakthrough study uncovers TIP60’s role in DNA access and disease mechanisms

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Aug 9 2024 To transcribe the information contained in our genes or to repair the dozens of breaks that occur daily in our DNA, our enzymes must be able to directly access the DNA to perform their functions. However, in the cell nucleus, this access is limited because the DNA strands are often tightly coiled and packed around proteins like threads around spools.
