Histone deacetylases

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2003
Post-translational modification of the histones of chromatin has a fundamental role in regulating gene expression. Enzymes involved in these epigenetic events include histone deacetylases (class I and class II), which can be inhibited by a structurally diverse group of small molecules.

Histone H1

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1997
Linker histones of which histone H1 is a representative are a diverse family of architectural proteins within the eukaryotic nucleus. These proteins have a variety of structures, but invariably contain a region enriched in lysine, serine, alanine and proline.

Histones of meiosis

Experimental Cell Research, 1967
Abstract The meiotic cells in the anthers of lily and tulip contain a unique histone which is absent or nearly so, from the somatic tissues of these plants. This histone, termed the meiotic histone, is synthesized during the premeiotic histone synthesis, persists through meiosis, microsporogenesis, and pollen maturation.

Biology of the histones

Life Sciences, 1974
Abstract The biological roles of the histones are multiple; by complexing to DNA they cause such DNA to be inactive as a template for RNA polymerase; they cause supercoiling of the DNA which would appear to be a fundamental requirement for further orders of supercoiling, presumable exemplified by metaphase chromosomes; a particular histone even forms

Trypanosomatid histones

Molecular Microbiology, 2004
SummaryThe histones are responsible for packaging and regulating access to eukaryotic genomes. Trypanosomatids are flagellated protists that diverged early from the eukaryotic lineage and include parasites that cause disease in humans and other mammals.

Histone Acetyltransferases

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2001
▪ Abstract  Transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes occurs within a chromatin setting and is strongly influenced by nucleosomal barriers imposed by histone proteins. Among the well-known covalent modifications of histones, the reversible acetylation of internal lysine residues in histone amino-terminal domains has long been positively linked to ...

Dialyzability of histones

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1957
Abstract A study of the effect of dialysis on histone preparations obtained from calf thymus nucleoprotein by different methods showed that amount and characteristics of dialyzable material vary with the mode of preparation and the pH of the dialyzing medium. A modified assembly for fractional dialysis is described.

Histones in perspective

BioEssays, 1985
AbstractHistones occur in equal amounts to DNA in the cell nucleus and are largely responsible for the compaction of the genome into chromatin via the formation of nucleosomes and higher‐order structures. Whereas two of the five histone types exhibit little structural variation, the remaining three occur in many variant tissue‐ or species‐specific ...

Histone Deacetylases

2008
Deacetylation of histones is required for gene regulation and cell cycle progression and the mediators, the histone deacetylases, are being vigorously pursued as drug targets for cancer chemotherapy. The deacetylases are also potential drug targets against infectious diseases and genome sequencing revealed proteins of this class in each of three ...
