Chromatin control of environmental stress response. Cells respond to environmental stress by mounting an adaptive stress response in order to survive stressful conditions. Transcriptional control is a major regulatory layer that determines the strength, the duration and persistence of cellular stress response. Transcription factors, chromatin modifications and non-coding RNA influence the transcriptional response to environmental stress. The molecular mechanisms by which chromatin exerts control over stress response is the main focus of the Unit programme.
