The PC-10 Puller pulls the glass capillary vertically, using the gravitational force of its own weight. For more versatility, this instrument has two modes: a single pull mode, which pulls at one stretch, and a double pull mode in which the setting is changed in mid-process. The PC-10 can therefore produce long, thin micropipettes for injection purposes, and firm microelectrodes for patch clamping. The change of setting in the…

DNA methylation was the first epigenetic modification identified and has been intensively studied for more than half a century. By now it is clear that Dnmt1, the major eukaryotic DNA methyltransferase, faithfully maintains genome-wide methylation patterns and plays an essential role in the epigenetic network controlling gene expression and genome stability during development. However, the molecular mechanisms that ultimately…

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a homotrimeric ring-shaped protein that encircles DNA and acts as a loading platform for multiple, transiently interacting factors participating in various DNA transactions. PCNA plays a key role in DNA replication, repair, cell cycle regulation, and post-replicative transactions like DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling. All these cellular processes are regulated by a complex n…
