[PDF][PDF] The energetics and physiological impact of cohesin extrusion

…, Z Tang, S Nelson, M Di Pierro, RR Cheng… - Cell, 2018 - cell.com
Cohesin extrusion is thought to play a central role in establishing the architecture of mammalian
genomes. However, extrusion has not been visualized in vivo, and thus, its functional …

Quantifying internal friction in unfolded and intrinsically disordered proteins with single-molecule spectroscopy

…, B Buchli, D Nettels, RR Cheng… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Internal friction, which reflects the “roughness” of the energy landscape, plays an important
role for proteins by modulating the dynamics of their folding and other conformational …

De novo prediction of human chromosome structures: Epigenetic marking patterns encode genome architecture

M Di Pierro, RR Cheng… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Inside the cell nucleus, genomes fold into organized structures that are characteristic of cell
type. Here, we show that this chromatin architecture can be predicted de novo using …

Unique (3, 12)-connected coordination polymers displaying high stability, large magnetocaloric effect and slow magnetic relaxation

YL Hou, G Xiong, PF Shi, RR Cheng, JZ Cui… - Chemical …, 2013 - pubs.rsc.org
Two unique 3D coordination polymers based on octahedral [Ln6] (Ln = Gd (1), Dy (2)) clusters
as nodes were synthesized, exhibiting a novel (3,12)-connected topology with the symbol …

Coevolutionary information, protein folding landscapes, and the thermodynamics of natural selection

F Morcos, NP Schafer, RR Cheng… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
The energy landscape used by nature over evolutionary timescales to select protein sequences
is essentially the same as the one that folds these sequences into functioning proteins, …

Toward rationally redesigning bacterial two-component signaling systems using coevolutionary information

RR Cheng, F Morcos, H Levine… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
… We characterize the mutational changes in the functional interaction between HK/RR proteins
through evolutionarily conserved interactions between the HK dimerization and histidine …

A Sensitive Luminescent Acetylacetone Probe Based on Zn‐MOF with Six‐Fold Interpenetration

XM Kang, RR Cheng, H Xu… - … –A European Journal, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
A novel metal‐organic framework {[Zn(XL) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ⋅6 H 2 O} n (XL=N,N′‐bicyclo[2.2.2]oct‐7‐ene‐2,3,5,6‐tetracarboxdiimide
bi(1,2,4‐triazole)) was synthesized and structurally …

Controlled lanthanide–organic framework nanospheres as reversible and sensitive luminescent sensors for practical applications

YL Hou, H Xu, RR Cheng, B Zhao - Chemical communications, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
Two novel 3D frameworks were synthesized, and further nanosized to form nanospheres.
Studies revealed that 2 is the first MOF-based luminescent sensor for detecting cyclohexane, …

Elucidating the druggable interface of protein− protein interactions using fragment docking and coevolutionary analysis

F Bai, F Morcos, RR Cheng, H Jiang… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Protein−protein interactions play a central role in cellular function. Improving the understanding
of complex formation has many practical applications, including the rational design of …

Let-7 derived from endometrial extracellular vesicles is an important inducer of embryonic diapause in mice

WM Liu, RR Cheng, ZR Niu, AC Chen, MY Ma, T Li… - Science …, 2020 - science.org
Embryonic diapause is a maternally controlled phenomenon. The molecule controlling the
onset of the phenomenon is unknown. We demonstrated that overexpression of microRNA let-…
