Tigrolysis

Tigrolysis is a term that refers to the process of changing the structure of chromatin (DNA and the proteins it is associated with) within a cell. This process occurs in response to various external influences, such as stress, DNA damage, changes in environmental conditions and others.

During tigrolysis, chromatin “unties” and becomes less dense. This leads to the fact that individual sections of DNA become more accessible to repair, transcription and replication enzymes. Tigrolysis plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression, as it allows the “switching on” and “switching off” of desired genes in response to signals of cellular stress or damage.

Thus, tigrolysis is one of the key mechanisms by which the cell responds to changes in external and internal conditions. Understanding the processes of tigrolysis is important for studying the regulation of gene activity and cell responses to stress.
