Histones and histone modifications [PDF]
Current 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

Histone clipping: the punctuation in the histone code [PDF]
The EMBO Reports, 2021 Histone clipping was first discovered in the 1960s and still is a lingering mystery. Considering the essential roles of histones in regulating eukaryotic transcription through the histone code, clipping is a post-translational modification that appeals to the imagination.

Histones, histone chaperones and nucleosome assembly [PDF]
Protein & Cell, 2010 Chromatin structure governs a number of cellular processes including DNA replication, transcription, and DNA repair. During DNA replication, chromatin structure including the basic repeating unit of chromatin, the nucleosome, is temporarily disrupted, and then reformed immediately after the passage of the replication fork.

Histone-Histone Interactions and Centromere Function [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2000 Cse4p is a structural component of the core centromere of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is a member of the conserved CENP-A family of specialized histone H3 variants. The histone H4 allele hhf1-20 confers defects in core centromere chromatin structure and mitotic chromosome transmission.

Acetylated histone variant H2A.Z is involved in the activation of neo-enhancers in prostate cancer
Nature Communications, 2017 Acetylation of the histone variant H2A.Z at gene promoters is associated with oncogene activation; however, it is unclear if such modification has a role in regulating the function of enhancers.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the expression of multiple genes in the pituitary gonadotropes, most notably to induce synthesis of the gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), but also to ensure ...

Molecular Insights into Epigenetics and Cannabinoid Receptors
Biomolecules, 2022 The actions of cannabis are mediated by G protein-coupled receptors that are part of an endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS). ECS consists of the naturally occurring ligands N-arachidonylethanolamine (anandamide) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), their ...

MicroRNAs as new Characters in the Plot between Epigenetics and Prostate Cancer
Frontiers in Genetics, 2011 Prostate cancer (PCA) still represents a leading cause of death. An increasing number of studies have documented that microRNAs (miRNAs), a subgroup of non-coding RNAs with gene regulatory functions, are differentially expressed in PCA respect to the ...

The Histone Database: an integrated resource for histones and histone fold-containing proteins [PDF]
Database, 2011 Eukaryotic chromatin is composed of DNA and protein components-core histones-that act to compactly pack the DNA into nucleosomes, the fundamental building blocks of chromatin. These nucleosomes are connected to adjacent nucleosomes by linker histones. Nucleosomes are highly dynamic and, through various core histone post-translational modifications and ...
