Histone crosstalk directed by H2B ubiquitination is required for chromatin boundary integrity [PDF]

, 2011
Genomic maps of chromatin modifications have provided evidence for the partitioning of genomes into domains of distinct chromatin states, which assist coordinated gene regulation.

Histone variant innovation in a rapidly evolving chordate lineage

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Histone variants alter the composition of nucleosomes and play crucial roles in transcription, chromosome segregation, DNA repair, and sperm compaction.

ATP-dependent chromatosome remodeling [PDF]

, 2008
Chromatin serves to package, protect and organize the complex eukaryotic genomes to assure their stable inheritance over many cell generations. At the same time, chromatin must be dynamic to allow continued use of DNA during a cell's lifetime.

Histone variants in archaea - an undiscovered country. [PDF]

, 2022
Exchanging core histones in the nucleosome for paralogous variants can have important functional ramifications. Many of these variants, and their physiological roles, have been characterized in exquisite detail in model eukaryotes, including humans.

Global turnover of histone post-translational modifications and variants in human cells

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2010
Background Post-translational modifications (PTMs) on the N-terminal tails of histones and histone variants regulate distinct transcriptional states and nuclear events.

Polymorphism of histone H1.c’ in the population of Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata L.): a link between histone H1.c’ allelic variants and ADP-ribosylation of histone H1 subtypes

The European Zoological Journal, 2021
In this work, a polymorphic variability of Muscovy duck histone H1.c’ is presented along with a link of its allelic variants with an extent of ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate)-ribosylation of histone H1 non-allelic subtypes.

Esperanto for histones: CENP-A, not CenH3, is the centromeric histone H3 variant [PDF]

Chromosome Research, 2013
The first centromeric protein identified in any species was CENP-A, a divergent member of the histone H3 family that was recognised by autoantibodies from patients with scleroderma-spectrum disease. It has recently been suggested to rename this protein CenH3.

Histone complement of a rapidly evolving chordate Oikopleura dioica: Developmental and sex-specific deployment of novel and universal histone variants and their posttranslational modifications [PDF]

, 2010
The packaging of DNA into nucleosomes is a fundamentally conserved property of the eukaryotic nucleus which is evident in the conservation of histone sequences. Nevertheless, it is now clear that histone sequence variants have diversified in many species

Histones and histone variant families in prokaryotes

Nature Communications
AbstractHistones 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 sequences.

Histone H1 binding is inhibited by histone variant H3.3 [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2009
Linker histones are involved in the formation of higher-order chromatin structure and the regulation of specific genes, yet it remains unclear what their principal binding determinants are. We generated a genome-wide high-resolution binding map for linker histone H1 in Drosophila cells, using DamID. H1 binds at similar levels across much of the genome,
