Histone chaperones: Variety and functions

open access: yesMoscow University Biological Sciences Bulletin, 2016
Histone chaperones are required for the formation of the nucleosome—the basic unit of chromatin that consists of the DNA and histones. In this review, participation of histone chaperones CAF-1, ASF1, NAP1, and FACT in key cellular processes is discussed.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

The Regulation of Chromatin Dynamics by Histone Chaperones and Variants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In all eukaryotic organisms, DNA is packaged into chromatin, which controls gene expression and genomic stability. The chromatin landscape is dynamic and responds to environmental signals to direct different cellular programs.

Oncogenic KRAS Rewires Stress Granule Dynamics: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic, membrane‐less structures that form in response to various cellular stresses, including metabolic, oxidative, and therapeutic challenges. They function as adaptive hubs and reorganize protein synthesis and signaling networks to help cells survive under stress. In cancer, these condensates are often hijacked to

Regulation of histone acetylation and turnover by histone chaperones

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2009
Acetylation of histone H3 on lysine 56 occurs on newly synthesized histones in fungal species, and the absence of this modification is associated with extreme sensitivity to genotoxic agents. H3‐K56 acetylation is catalyzed when Rtt109, a distant homolog of p300/CBP acetyltransferases, is stimulated by either ...

Characterization of the histone chaperones: somatic Nuclear Autoantigenic Sperm Protein (sNASP) and Nucleoplasmin 2 (NPM2)

open access: yes, 2012
Recent studies have focused their attention on the structure and function of histone chaperones involved in different aspects of somatic chromatin assembly and disassembly.

Conditional Modeling of GNAO1 Disorder Dissociates Circuit Specific Contributions to Pathology and Rationalizes Ameliorative Strategies

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neurodevelopmental disorders feature various symptoms that frequently include seizures and motor manifestations, but their attribution to disruptions of specific circuits and molecular alterations is notoriously hard to establish, which limits therapeutic interventions.

Structural Characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana NAP1-Related Protein 2 (AtNRP2) and Comparison with Its Homolog AtNRP1

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Nucleosome Assembly Protein (NAP) is a highly conserved family of histone chaperones present in yeast, animals, and plants. Unlike other organisms, plants possess an additional class of proteins in its NAP family, known as the NAP1-related proteins or ...
