A feedback loop sustaining neutrophil extracellular trap formation involves S100 proteins, histones, TLR2 and RAGE, and is restrained by albumin [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyNeutrophil extracellular trap (NET) generation must be tightly controlled as this essential antimicrobial response can also cause tissue damage and contribute to various pathologies.

Molecular Microbiology, 2004 SummaryThe histones are responsible for packaging and regulating access to eukaryotic genomes. Trypanosomatids are flagellated protists that diverged early from the eukaryotic lineage and include parasites that cause disease in humans and other mammals.

Bacterial and Archaeal Histones Structure DNA Differently [PDF]
, 2023 Histones are small DNA binding proteins that structure DNA. Eukaryotes use well conserved histones to wrap DNA into nucleosomes; discrete packages used to regulate gene expression and structure genomes. Most archaea also encode histones, such as HMfB and

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.

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.

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.

Histone-Histone Interactions and Centromere Function [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2000 Cse4p is a structural component of the core centromere of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is a member of the conserved CENP-A family of specialized histone H3 variants. The histone H4 allele hhf1-20 confers defects in core centromere chromatin structure and mitotic chromosome transmission.
