Citrullination of extracellular histone H3.1 reduces antibacterial activity and exacerbates its proteolytic degradation [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF), involves excessive airway accumulation of neutrophils, often in parallel with severe infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Free histones are known to possess bactericidal properties, but the degree of antibacterial activity exerted on specific lung-based pathogens is largely unknown.

The in vivo Interaction Landscape of Histones H3.1 and H3.3
Chromatin structure, transcription, DNA replication, and repair are regulated via locus-specific incorporation of histone variants and posttranslational modifications that guide effector chromatin-binding proteins. Here we report unbiased, quantitative interactomes for the replication-coupled (H3.1) and replication-independent (H3.3) histone H3 ...

SPT16 ubiquitylation by DCAF14-CRL4 regulates FACT binding to histones
Summary: The histone chaperone complex FACT comprises SPT16 and SSRP1 and contributes to DNA replication, transcription, and repair, but how it plays such various roles is unclear.

The program for processing newly synthesized histones H3.1 and H4 [PDF]
The mechanism by which newly synthesized histones are imported into the nucleus and deposited onto replicating chromatin alongside segregating nucleosomal counterparts is poorly understood, yet this program is expected to bear on the putative epigenetic nature of histone post-translational modifications.

Dynamic replacement of histone H3 variants reprograms epigenetic marks in early mouse embryos. [PDF]
Upon fertilization, reprogramming of gene expression is required for embryo development. This step is marked by DNA demethylation and changes in histone variant composition.

Stable inheritance of H3.3-containing nucleosomes during mitotic cell divisions
How nucleosome assembly of parental histones is regulated following DNA replication is still an open question. Here the authors show that unlike deposition of new histones H3.1 and H3.3 that utilizes different histone chaperones, parental H3.1 and H3.3 ...

Abstract Vocational interests are traditionally conceived as stable preferences for different activities. However, recent theorizing suggests their intraindividual variability. This preregistered experience sampling study examined intraindividual variation in selected vocational interests states and related situation and person factors (N = 237 ...

Histone exchange sensors reveal variant specific dynamics in mouse embryonic stem cells
Eviction of histones from nucleosomes and their exchange with newly synthesized or alternative variants is a central epigenetic determinant. Here, we define the genome-wide occupancy and exchange pattern of canonical and non-canonical histone variants in

An acidic patch in the unstructured N-terminus modulates LSD1 activity. [PDF]
Abstract Lysine‐specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) plays a crucial role in chromatin organization and gene regulation by removing methyl groups from histone and non‐histone substrates. While its catalytic core is well characterized, the functional contributions of its intrinsically disordered N‐terminal region remain less understood.

Selective Methylation of Histone H3 Variant H3.1 Regulates Heterochromatin Replication [PDF]
Making a Histone Mark The covalent marks on histones (the principal components of chromatin) play a critical role in the regulation of gene expression. Somehow these marks are preserved when a cell in a tissue divides so that the daughter cells maintain the gene expression program and tissue identity of the parent
