The Histone Variant H2A.Z C-Terminal Domain Has Locus-Specific Differential Effects on H2A.Z Occupancy and Nucleosome Localization

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
We provide evidence that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae C-terminal region of histone variant H2A.Z can mediate its special function in performing gene regulation by interacting with effector proteins and chaperones.

Reciprocal intronic and exonic histone modification regions in humans. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
While much attention has been focused on chromatin at promoters and exons, human genes are mostly composed of intronic sequences. Analyzing published surveys of nucleosomes and 41 chromatin marks in humans, we identified histone modifications ...

Histone H2A.Z Acetylation Modulates an Essential Charge Patch [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2001
Histone H2A.Z is structurally and functionally distinct from the major H2As. To understand the function of H2A.Z acetylation, we performed a mutagenic analysis of the six acetylated lysines in the N-terminal tail of Tetrahymena H2A.Z. Tetrahymena cannot survive with arginines at all six sites.

Learning and Age-Related Changes in Genome-wide H2A.Z Binding in the Mouse Hippocampus

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Histone variants were recently discovered to regulate neural plasticity, with H2A.Z emerging as a memory suppressor. Using whole-genome sequencing of the mouse hippocampus, we show that basal H2A.Z occupancy is positively associated with steady ...

The H2A.Z-KDM1A complex promotes tumorigenesis by localizing in the nucleus to promote SFRP1 promoter methylation in cholangiocarcinoma cells

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2022
Background Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), originating from the bile ducts, is the second most common primary liver malignancy, and its incidence has recently increased.

Recent advances in malaria genomics and epigenomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Malaria continues to impose a significant disease burden on low- and middle-income countries in the tropics. However, revolutionary progress over the last 3 years in nucleic acid sequencing, reverse genetics, and post-genome analyses has generated step ...

Meeting Summary of the 6th European Workshop on Plant Chromatin 2019 in Cologne, Germany [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In June 2019, more than a hundred plant researchers met in Cologne, Germany, for the 6th European Workshop on Plant Chromatin (EWPC). This conference brought together a highly dynamic community of researchers with the common aim to understand how ...

H2A.Z nucleosomes enriched over active genes are homotypic [PDF]

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2010
Nucleosomes that contain the histone variant H2A.Z are enriched around transcriptional start sites, but the mechanistic basis for this enrichment is unknown. A single octameric nucleosome can contain two H2A.Z histones (homotypic) or one H2A.Z and one canonical H2A (heterotypic).

A combination of H2A.Z and H4 acetylation recruits Brd2 to chromatin during transcriptional activation.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
H2A.Z is an essential histone variant that has been implicated to have multiple chromosomal functions. To understand how H2A.Z participates in such diverse activities, we sought to identify downstream effector proteins that are recruited to chromatin via

High-resolution and high-accuracy topographic and transcriptional maps of the nucleosome barrier. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nucleosomes represent mechanical and energetic barriers that RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) must overcome during transcription. A high-resolution description of the barrier topography, its modulation by epigenetic modifications, and their effects on Pol II ...
