Mice without MacroH2A Histone Variants [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2014 MacroH2A core histone variants have a unique structure that includes a C-terminal nonhistone domain. They are highly conserved in vertebrates and are thought to regulate gene expression. However, the nature of genes regulated by macroH2As and their biological significance remain unclear.

Chromosome Centromeres: Structural and Analytical Investigations with High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy in Combination with Focused Ion Beam Milling [PDF]
, 2009 Whole mount mitotic metaphase chromosomes of different plants and animals were investigated with high resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to study the ultrastructural organization of centromeres, including metacentric ...

Loss of histone macroH2A1 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells promotes paracrine-mediated chemoresistance and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells activation [PDF]
, 2020 Rationale: Loss of histone macroH2A1 induces appearance of cancer stem cells (CSCs)-like cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). How CSCs interact with the tumor microenvironment and the adaptive immune system is unclear. Methods: We screened aggressive

The Drosophila histone variant H2A.V works in concert with HP1 to promote kinetochore-driven microtubule formation [PDF]
, 2015 Unlike other organisms that have evolved distinct H2A variants for different functions, Drosophila melanogaster has just one variant which is capable of filling many roles.

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

SWI/SNF-like chromatin remodeling factor Fun30 supports point centromere function in S. cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2011 Budding yeast centromeres are sequence-defined point centromeres and are, unlike in many other organisms, not embedded in heterochromatin. Here we show that Fun30, a poorly understood SWI/SNF-like chromatin remodeling factor conserved in humans ...

Histone Variants in Metazoan Development [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2010 Embryonic development is regulated by both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, with nearly all DNA-templated processes influenced by chromatin architecture. Sequence variations in histone proteins, core components of chromatin, provide a means to generate diversity in the chromatin structure, resulting in distinct and profound biological outcomes in the

Biology Open, 2019 Cell-fate maintenance is important to preserve the variety of cell types that are essential for the formation and function of tissues. We previously showed that the acetylated histone-binding protein BET-1 maintains cell fate by recruiting the histone ...

The histone H2A variant macroH2A1 does not localize to the centrosome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 MacroH2A1 is a histone H2A variant which contains a large non-histone C-terminal region of largely unknown function. Within this region is a macro domain which can bind ADP-ribose and related molecules.

Using genomic annotations increases statistical power to detect eGenes. [PDF]
