Visualizing the dynamics of histone variants in the S-phase nucleus [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2018
Histone variants constitute a fundamental feature of the epigenome. However, their dynamics during normal and challenged DNA replication and their distribution in the three-dimensional space of the nucleus remain poorly characterized.

Histone variants in archaea [PDF]

, 2022
Eukaryotic histone variants are involved in a wide range of processes and play a key role in altering nucleosome dynamics to shape the architecture of chromatin. The importance of individual variants has been studied extensively in many eukaryotes.

Primate-specific histone variants [PDF]

Genome, 2020
Canonical histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) are present in all eukaryotes where they package genomic DNA and participate in numerous cellular processes, such as transcription regulation and DNA repair.

Histone variants and histone modifications: A structural perspective

Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 2001
In this review, we briefly analyze the current state of knowledge on histone variants and their posttranslational modifications. We place special emphasis on the description of the structural component(s) defining and determining their functional role ...

Histone Variants

, 2009
Histones are the main protein component of chromatin and they can be divided into two major groups, core histones and linker histones. Both core histones and linker histones exhibit inter and intra-specific amino acid sequence variability and each have ...

Histone variants and lipid metabolism.

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2014
Item does not contain fulltextWithin nucleosomes, canonical histones package the genome, but they can be opportunely replaced with histone variants.

Nucleosome dynamics and histone variants

Essays in Biochemistry, 2010
In eukaryotes, DNA is organized into chromatin, a dynamic structure that enables DNA to be accessed for processes such as transcription, replication and repair.

Histone variants at a glance. [PDF]

J Cell Sci, 2021
ABSTRACT Eukaryotic nucleosomes organize chromatin by wrapping 147 bp of DNA around a histone core particle comprising two molecules each of histone H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. The DNA entering and exiting the particle may be bound by the linker histone H1.
