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.

The histone chaperones Nap1 and Vps75 bind histones H3 and H4 in a tetrameric conformation [PDF]

, 2011
Histone chaperones physically interact with histones to direct proper assembly and disassembly of nucleosomes regulating diverse nuclear processes such as DNA replication, promoter remodeling, transcription elongation, DNA damage, and histone variant ...

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

, 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.

Analysis of Jmjd6 cellular localization and testing for its involvement in histone demethylation. [PDF]

, 2010
Methylation of residues in histone tails is part of a network that regulates gene expression. JmjC domain containing proteins catalyze the oxidative removal of methyl groups on histone lysine residues.

The histone chaperones Vps75 and Nap1 form ring-like, tetrameric structures in solution [PDF]

, 2013
NAP-1 fold histone chaperones play an important role in escorting histones to and from sites of nucleosome assembly and disassembly. The two NAP-1 fold histone chaperones in budding yeast, Vps75 and Nap1, have previously been crystalized in a ...

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.

Multifaceted Targeting of the Chromatin Mediates Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Effects on Gene Expression in the Gonadotrope

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 ...
