Histone variants and epigenetic inheritance
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory Mechanisms, 2012Nucleosome particles, which are composed of core histones and DNA, are the basic unit of eukaryotic chromatin. Histone modifications and histone composition determine the structure and function of the chromatin; this genome packaging, often referred to as "epigenetic information", provides additional information beyond the underlying genomic sequence ...

In eukaryotes, the genome is organized into a complex nucleoprotein structure called chromatin. Despite the simplicity of its monomer, DNA and two copies of four histones, the existence of histone variants opens possibilities of multiple chromatin landscapes and fine-tune regulation of molecular mechanisms for the regulation of gene expression and ...

[Histone variants and histone exchange].
Yi chuan = Hereditas, 2009Histones, as the basic components of nucleosome, are essential to chromatin structure and function. To adapt to various states of chromatin, corresponding histone variants are incorporated in nucleosome, and certain modifications also occur on the variants' tails.

Novel histones and histone variant families in prokaryotes
2023Abstract Histones are important chromatin-organizing proteins in eukaryotes and archaea. They form superhelical structures around which DNA is wrapped. Recent studies have shown that some archaea and bacteria contain alternative histones that exhibit different DNA binding properties, in addition to highly divergent ...

Roles of Histone H2B, H3 and H4 Variants in Cancer Development and Prognosis
International Journal of Molecular SciencesHistone variants are the paralogs of core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). They are stably expressed throughout the cell cycle in a replication-independent fashion and are capable of replacing canonical counterparts under different fundamental biological ...

H 1 histone and histone variants in Trypanosoma cruzi
Experimental Cell Research, 1988Trypanosoma cruzi chromatin is not condensed in chromosomes during mitosis. In previous studies a characteristic H 1 was not found in SDS or in acid-urea-PAGE. Consequently, it was proposed that the particular behavior of T. cruzi chromatin in dividing cells was due to the absence of an H 1 histone. In the present work, histones from this parasite were

Monoclonal Autoantibodies Recognizing Histone Variants
Immunological Investigations, 1988Balb/c mice were immunized with affinity purified Ro(SS-A) from human origin in order to allow the preparation of monoclonal anti-Ro(SS-A) antibodies. After fusion of mouse myeloma cells (line Sp2/0 A914) with spleen cells from one of these mice, anti-Ro(SS-A) monoclonals were not obtained, but, instead, two IgM producing hybridomas reactive with ...

Histone Variants and Transcription Regulation
2012Histones are the protein components of chromatin and are important for its organization and compaction. Although core histones are exclusively expressed during S phase of the cell cycle, there exist variants of canonical histones that are expressed throughout the cell cycle.

H1 histone variants in Xenopus laevis
Developmental Biology, 1981Abstract The H1 histones from erythrocytes, livers, intestines, testes, and embryos of Xenopus laevis have been examined electrophoretically. This species has been found to contain at least five electrophoretically resolvable lysine-rich histones in addition to the presumptive H5 histone of erythrocytes.

Publisher Summary The structure of the nucleosome can be adapted to specialized functions by altering its histone composition. In higher eukaryotes, all of the core histones except H4 exist in multiple variant forms that have different primary structures.
