Histones and histone variant families in prokaryotes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHistones 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 ...

Rapid purification of recombinant histones. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The development of methods to assemble nucleosomes from recombinant histones decades ago has transformed chromatin research. Nevertheless, nucleosome reconstitution remains time consuming to this day, not least because the four individual histones must ...

Structure and function of archaeal histones. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 The genomes of all organisms throughout the tree of life are compacted and organized in chromatin by association of chromatin proteins. Eukaryotic genomes encode histones, which are assembled on the genome into octamers, yielding nucleosomes.

Histones and histone modifications [PDF]
Current Biology, 2004 Histone variants, distinct patterns of posttranslational modifications of histones, and histone tail binding proteins all contribute to establishment of various ‘open’ or ‘closed’ chromatin domains that have specialized folding properties and biological functions. Some of these domains can be propagated through DNA replication and mitosis, guaranteeing

In vitro interactions of extracellular histones with LDL suggest a potential pro-atherogenic role. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Nuclear histones have previously been shown to aggregate LDL in vitro, suggestive of a possible pro-atherogenic role. Recent studies indicate that histones are released during acute inflammation, and therefore might interact with circulating lipoproteins

Redox Biochemistry and Chemistry, 2023 In the nucleus, histones are essential in the packaging of DNA and the regulation of gene expression. These histones can also be released to the extracellular space by mechanisms such as necrosis and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation ...

Histone clipping: the punctuation in the histone code [PDF]
The EMBO Reports, 2021 Histone clipping was first discovered in the 1960s and still is a lingering mystery. Considering the essential roles of histones in regulating eukaryotic transcription through the histone code, clipping is a post-translational modification that appeals to the imagination.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Histones are small polycationic proteins located in the cell nucleus. Together, DNA and histones are integral constituents of the nucleosomes. Upon apoptosis, necrosis and infection - induced cell death, histones are released from the cell.

Histones, histone chaperones and nucleosome assembly [PDF]
Protein & Cell, 2010 Chromatin structure governs a number of cellular processes including DNA replication, transcription, and DNA repair. During DNA replication, chromatin structure including the basic repeating unit of chromatin, the nucleosome, is temporarily disrupted, and then reformed immediately after the passage of the replication fork.

Diseases, 2021 Lysine methylation is among the key posttranslational modifications to histones that contribute to epigenetic regulation. SMYD3 is a lysine methyltransferase that is essential for the proliferation of a range of tumorigenic cells. The findings that SMYD3
