Dynamic Activity of Histone H3-Specific Chaperone Complexes in Oncogenesis
Canonical histone H3.1 and variant H3.3 deposit at different sites of the chromatin via distinct histone chaperones. Histone H3.1 relies on chaperone CAF-1 to mediate replication-dependent nucleosome assembly during S-phase, while H3.3 variant is ...

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

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

Systematic quantitative analysis of H2A and H2B variants by targeted proteomics
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.

Histone Variants in Metazoan Development [PDF]
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

Histone variants in pluripotency and disease [PDF]
Most histones are assembled into nucleosomes during replication to package genomic DNA. However, several variant histones are deposited independently of replication at particular regions of chromosomes. Such histone variants include cenH3, which forms the nucleosomal foundation for the centromere, and H3.3, which replaces histones that are lost during ...

Focus on histone variant H2AX: To be or not to be [PDF]
Phosphorylation of histone variant H2AX at serine 139, named γH2AX, has been widely used as a sensitive marker for DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs). γH2AX is required for the accumulation of many DNA damage response (DDR) proteins at DSBs. Thus it is believed to be the principal signaling protein involved in DDR and to play an important role in DNA ...

Background Causal variants for complex traits, such as eQTL are often found in non-coding regions of the genome, where they are hypothesised to influence phenotypes by regulating gene expression.

H2A Variants in Arabidopsis: Versatile Regulators of Genome Activity
The eukaryotic nucleosome prevents access to the genome. Convergently evolving histone isoforms, also called histone variants, form diverse families that are enriched over distinct features of plant genomes.
