"Open" chromatin : histone acetylation, linker histones & histone variants

, 2013
DNA in the eukaryotic cell is packaged into a structure called chromatin. Chromatin is a dynamic structure that regulates access to DNA in response to environmental stimuli. Two widely conserved mechanisms that influence chromatin structure are the addition of post-translational modifications (PTMs) to histones and other chromatin-associated proteins ...

Excessive DNA Double‐Strand Breaks–Associated 3D Genome Reorganization Contributes to Neural Tube Defects with Folate Deficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are among the most common congenital malformations. However, the underlying etiology and mechanism remain elusive. Here, the role of DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in 3D genome organization within the NTDs with folate deficiency is reported.

Epigenetics and chromatin remodeling play a role in lung disease [PDF]

, 2011
Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is facilitated through different mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA ...

Gal3‐CaN‐Smurf1 Complex Sequestrates FLCN‐FNIPs to Facilitate TFEB Activation in Response to Endomembrane Damage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram illustrates the role of the recruitment of Gal3‐CaN‐Smurf1 complex in maintaining lysosomal membrane homeostasis upon damage. On the one hand, the Gal3‐CaN‐Smurf1 complex sequesters FLCN‐FNIPs to block the activation of RagC, where the active form RagC‐GDP is responsible for TFEB phosphorylation.

Nickel binding sites in histone proteins [PDF]

, 2012
Nickel compounds are well known as human carcinogens, though the molecular events that are responsible for this are not well understood. It has been proposed that a crucial element in the mechanism of carcinogenesis is the binding of Ni(II) ions within

The Role of Extracellular Histones in Disease Progression: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Disease Modulation

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Histones were once thought to be exclusive to the nucleus, but were recently discovered in the extracellular space, where they play important roles in disease pathogenesis.

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.
