Overview of Histone Modification

2020
Epigenetics is the epi-information beyond the DNA sequence that can be inherited from parents to offspring. From years of studies, people have found that histone modifications, DNA methylation, and RNA-based mechanism are the main means of epigenetic control. In this chapter, we will focus on the general introductions of epigenetics, which is important

Control of histone modifications

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 1999
A role for histone modifications in transcription processes and the remodeling of chromatin structure has been established. This review highlights the recent advances made in studies on histone acetyltransferases, histone deacetylases, histone kinases, and protein phosphatases, as well as their roles in transcriptional activation and repression ...

Histone Modifications and Cancer

2010
It is now widely recognized that epigenetic events are important mechanisms underlying cancer development and progression. Epigenetic information in chromatin includes covalent modifications (such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination) of core nucleosomal proteins (histones).

Detecting Histone Modifications in Plants

2014
Histone modifications play an essential role in chromatin-associated processes including gene regulation and epigenetic inheritance. It is therefore very important to quantitatively analyze histone modifications at both the single gene and whole genome level.

Bivalent Histone Modifications and Development

Current Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2018
Development is an epigenetic regulation dependent event. As one pretranscriptional regulator, bivalent histone modifications were observed to be involved in development recently. It is believed that histone methylation potentially takes charge of cell fate determination and differentiation.

Histone modifications in herpesvirus infections

Biology of the Cell, 2012
AbstractIn eukaryotic cells, gene expression is not only regulated by transcription factors but also by several epigenetic mechanisms including post‐translational modifications of histone proteins. There are numerous histone modifications described to date and methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination and phosphorylation are amongst the best studied. In

Histone interactions, histone modifications and chromatin structure

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1978
A subunit structure for chromatin is now well established (Hewish & Burgoyne 1973; Burgoyne, Hewish & Hobbs 1974; Olins & Olins 1973, 1974; Woodcock 1973; Rill & Van Holde 1973; Kornberg 1974; Baldwin, Boseley, Bradbury & Ibel 1975; Oudet, Gross-Bellard & Chambon 1975)* Nuclease digestion of chromatin gives a series

Histone modifications and exercise adaptations

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2011
The spatial association between genomic DNA and histone proteins within chromatin plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression and is largely governed by post-translational modifications to histone proteins, particularly H3 and H4. These modifications include phosphorylation, acetylation, and mono-, di-, and tri-methylation, and while some ...

The analysis of histone modifications

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2006
The biological function of many proteins is often regulated through posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Frequently different modifications influence each other and lead to an intricate network of interdependent modification patterns that affect protein-protein interactions, enzymatic activities and sub-cellular localizations.

Functional consequences of histone modifications

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2003
Covalent modifications of the histone proteins have well-known roles in gene expression. Experiments reported during the past year have extended this paradigm to include roles for histone acetylation and phosphorylation in DNA double-strand break repair.
