Control of human adenovirus type 5 gene expression by cellular Daxx/ATRX chromatin-associated complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Death domain–associated protein (Daxx) cooperates with X-linked α-thalassaemia retardation syndrome protein (ATRX), a putative member of the sucrose non-fermentable 2 family of ATP-dependent chromatin-remodelling proteins, acting as the core ATPase ...

Catalytic activation of histone acetyltransferase Rtt109 by a histone chaperone [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
Most histone acetyltransferases (HATs) function as multisubunit complexes in which accessory proteins regulate substrate specificity and catalytic efficiency. Rtt109 is a particularly interesting example of a HAT whose specificity and catalytic activity require association with either of two histone chaperones, Vps75 or Asf1.

Histone Chaperones as Cardinal Players in Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Dynamicity and flexibility of the chromatin landscape are critical for most of the DNA-dependent processes to occur. This higher-order packaging of the eukaryotic genome into the chromatin is mediated by histones and associated non-histone proteins that determine the states of chromatin.

Porcine intestinal glycosphingolipids recognized by F6-fimbriated enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One important virulence factor of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is their ability to adhere via fimbrial adhesins to specific receptors located on the intestinal mucosa. Here, the potential glycosphingolipid receptors of enterotoxigenic F6-fimbriated E.

Chaperoning histones at the DNA repair dance

open access: yesDNA Repair, 2021
Unlike all other biological molecules that are degraded and replaced if damaged, DNA must be repaired as chromosomes cannot be replaced. Indeed, DNA endures a wide variety of structural damage that need to be repaired accurately to maintain genomic stability and proper functioning of cells and to prevent mutation leading to disease.

Natural killer cell response to chemotherapy-stressed cancer cells: Role in tumor immunosurveillance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphoid cells that actively prevent neoplastic development, growth, and metastatic dissemination in a process called cancer immunosurveillance.

A J Domain Protein Functions as a Histone Chaperone to Maintain Genome Integrity and the Response to DNA Damage in a Human Fungal Pathogen

open access: yesmBio, 2021
Histone chaperoning ensures genomic integrity during routine processes such as DNA replication and transcription as well as DNA repair upon damage. Here, we identify a nuclear J domain protein, Dnj4, in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans and ...

Chaperoning Histones during DNA Replication and Repair [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2010
Nuclear DNA is tightly packaged into chromatin, which profoundly influences DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. The extensive interactions between the basic histone proteins and acidic DNA make the nucleosomal unit of chromatin a highly stable entity. For the cellular machinery to access the DNA, the chromatin must be unwound and

Placing the HIRA Histone Chaperone Complex in the Chromatin Landscape

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
The HIRA chaperone complex, comprised of HIRA, UBN1, and CABIN1, collaborates with histone-binding protein ASF1a to incorporate histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner.

Distinct role of histone chaperone Asf1a and Asf1b during fertilization and pre-implantation embryonic development in mice

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin, 2021
Background Asf1 is a well-conserved histone chaperone that regulates multiple cellular processes in different species. Two paralogous genes, Asf1a and Asf1b exist in mammals, but their role during fertilization and early embryogenesis remains to be ...
