摘要

In June 2006, about 90 scientists came together at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre in Hinxton (near Cambridge, UK), to attend the first European Science Foundation (ESF)–Wellcome Trust Conference on Signalling to Chromatin Epigenetics. This meeting addressed how cellular processes both signal and respond to chromatin. Chromatin is composed of nucleosomes that each comprise 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of two copies of each histone H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. Nucleosomes are folded into higher-order structures that are stabilized by linker histones. Chromatin structure can be altered by enzymes that post-translationally modify histones (for example, through phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation or ubiquitination) or by ATP-driven chromatin-remodelling complexes that alter nucleosome position and/or composition. The role of chromatin in cellular processes, such as transcription, DNA-damage repair and cell differentiation, was discussed at the meeting. In this report, we summarize a few of the highlights from the broad range of topics discussed.
