Fine mapping of posttranslational modifications of the linker histone H1 from Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The linker histone H1 binds to the DNA in between adjacent nucleosomes and contributes to chromatin organization and transcriptional control. It is known that H1 carries diverse posttranslational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, lysine ...

Apicomplexa and Histone Variants: What’s New? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Plasmodium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii present a conserved nucleosome composition based on canonical H3 and variants, H4, canonical H2A and variants, and H2B.

Acetylated histone variant H2A.Z is involved in the activation of neo-enhancers in prostate cancer

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Acetylation of the histone variant H2A.Z at gene promoters is associated with oncogene activation; however, it is unclear if such modification has a role in regulating the function of enhancers.

Acetylation of histone H3 at lysine 64 regulates nucleosome dynamics and facilitates transcription [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Post-translational modifications of proteins have emerged as a major mechanism for regulating gene expression. However, our understanding of how histone modifications directly affect chromatin function remains limited.

Analysis of Jmjd6 cellular localization and testing for its involvement in histone demethylation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Methylation of residues in histone tails is part of a network that regulates gene expression. JmjC domain containing proteins catalyze the oxidative removal of methyl groups on histone lysine residues.

The evolution and functional divergence of the histone H2B family in plants.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2020
Chromatin regulation of eukaryotic genomes depends on the formation of nucleosome complexes between histone proteins and DNA. Histone variants, which are diversified by sequence or expression pattern, can profoundly alter chromatin properties.

HistoneDB 2.0: a histone database with variants—an integrated resource to explore histones and their variants [PDF]

open access: yesDatabase, 2016
Compaction of DNA into chromatin is a characteristic feature of eukaryotic organisms. The core (H2A, H2B, H3, H4) and linker (H1) histone proteins are responsible for this compaction through the formation of nucleosomes and higher order chromatin aggregates.

Mass spectrometry analysis of the variants of histone H3 and H4 of soybean and their post-translational modifications

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background Histone modifications and histone variants are of importance in many biological processes. To understand the biological functions of the global dynamics of histone modifications and histone variants in higher plants, we elucidated the variants

Systematic quantitative analysis of H2A and H2B variants by targeted proteomics

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin, 2018
Background Histones organize DNA into chromatin through a variety of processes. Among them, a vast diversity of histone variants can be incorporated into chromatin and finely modulate its organization and functionality.
