Stage-specific histone modification profiles reveal global transitions in the Xenopus embryonic epigenome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Vertebrate embryos are derived from a transitory pool of pluripotent cells. By the process of embryonic induction, these precursor cells are assigned to specific fates and differentiation programs.

DOT1L O-GlcNAcylation promotes its protein stability and MLL-fusion leukemia cell proliferation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Histone lysine methylation functions at the interface of the extracellular environment and intracellular gene expression. DOT1L is a versatile histone H3K79 methyltransferase with a prominent role in MLL-fusion leukemia, yet little is known ...

Dek219 encodes the DICER-LIKE1 protein that affects chromatin accessibility and kernel development in maize

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
Chromatin accessibility plays a vital role in gene transcriptional regulation. However, the regulatory mechanism of chromatin accessibility, as well as its role in regulating crucial gene expression and kernel development in maize (Zea mays) are poorly ...

Histones and histone modifications [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2004
Histone variants, distinct patterns of posttranslational modifications of histones, and histone tail binding proteins all contribute to establishment of various ‘open’ or ‘closed’ chromatin domains that have specialized folding properties and biological functions. Some of these domains can be propagated through DNA replication and mitosis, guaranteeing

Impaired Regulation of Histone Methylation and Acetylation Underlies Specific Neurodevelopmental Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Epigenetic processes are critical for governing the complex spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression in neurodevelopment. One such mechanism is the dynamic network of post-translational histone modifications that facilitate recruitment of transcription

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells as a Therapeutic Target for Cancer

open access: yesCells, 2020
The emergence of immunotherapy has been an astounding breakthrough in cancer treatments. In particular, immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4, have shown remarkable therapeutic outcomes.

Cryo-EM structure of the nucleosome containing the ALB1 enhancer DNA sequence [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2018
Pioneer transcription factors specifically target their recognition DNA sequences within nucleosomes. FoxA is the pioneer transcription factor that binds to the ALB1 gene enhancer in liver precursor cells, and is required for liver differentiation in ...

Progressive Phosphorylation Modulates the Self-Association of a Variably Modified Histone H3 Peptide

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Protein phosphorylation is a key regulatory mechanism in eukaryotic cells. In the intrinsically disordered histone tails, phosphorylation is often a part of combinatorial post-translational modifications and an integral part of the “histone code” that ...

The First Analysis of Synaptonemal Complexes in Jawless Vertebrates: Chromosome Synapsis and Transcription Reactivation at Meiotic Prophase I in the Lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis (Petromyzontiformes, Cyclostomata)

open access: yesLife, 2023
Transcription is known to be substage-specific in meiotic prophase I. If transcription is reactivated in the mid pachytene stage in mammals when synapsis is completed, then this process is observed in the zygotene stage in insects.

Heparin Attenuates Histone-Mediated Cytotoxicity in Septic Acute Kidney Injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2020
Histones are considered potential risk factors that contribute to the development of septic acute kidney injury (SAKI) by inducing apoptosis and inflammation.
