The Histone Deacetylase Complex (HDC) 1 protein of Arabidopsis thaliana has the capacity to interact with multiple proteins including histone 3-binding proteins and histone 1 variants [PDF]
Intrinsically disordered proteins can adopt multiple conformations thereby enabling interaction with a wide variety of partners. They often serve as hubs in protein interaction networks. We have previously shown that the Histone Deacetylase Complex (HDC)

Insight into the pathogenesis and nature of Central giant cell lesions of the jaws [PDF]
Central giant cell lesions of the jaws are not uncommon. While the majority of these represent single, sporadic lesions, histologically identical lesions are seen in association with a number of other bone lesions, as well as in certain syndromes. This

Structural insight into how the human helicase subunit MCM2 may act as a histone chaperone together with ASF1 at the replication fork [PDF]
International audienceMCM2 is a subunit of the replicative helicase machinery shown to interact with histones H3 and H4 during the replication process through its N-terminal domain.

H3.3K122A results in a neomorphic phenotype in mouse embryonic stem cells
Canonical histone H3 and histone variant H3.3 are posttranslationally modified with the genomic distribution of these marks denoting different features and these modifications may influence transcription.

Ubiquitination Events That Regulate Recombination of Immunoglobulin Loci Gene Segments [PDF]
Programed DNA mutagenesis events in the immunoglobulin (Ig) loci of developing B cells utilize the common and conserved mechanism of protein ubiquitination for subsequent proteasomal degradation to generate the required antigen-receptor diversity ...

The inner centromere is a biomolecular condensate scaffolded by the chromosomal passenger complex. [PDF]
The inner centromere is a region on every mitotic chromosome that enables specific biochemical reactions that underlie properties, such as the maintenance of cohesion, the regulation of kinetochores and the assembly of specialized chromatin, that can ...

Role of histone variant H3.3 in neurogenesis and gliomagenesis
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) (WHO classification IV) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor with a poor prognosis in both adults and children. In the last years several studies have shown that 44% of glioblastoma multiforme tumors are characterized by the same histone mutations manifested in the histone variant H3.3.
