Stage-specific histone modification profiles reveal global transitions in the Xenopus embryonic epigenome. [PDF]
, 2011 Vertebrate embryos are derived from a transitory pool of pluripotent cells. By the process of embryonic induction, these precursor cells are assigned to specific fates and differentiation programs.

Histone Citrullination Mediates a Protective Role in Endothelium and Modulates Inflammation
Cells, 2022 NETosis is a key host immune process against a pathogenic infection during innate immune activation, consisting of a neutrophil “explosion” and, consequently, NET formation, containing mainly DNA, histones, and other nuclear proteins.

H2A-H2B Histone Dimer Plasticity and Its Functional Implications
Cells, 2022 The protein core of the nucleosome is composed of an H3-H4 histone tetramer and two H2A-H2B histone dimers. The tetramer organizes the central 60 DNA bp, while H2A-H2B dimers lock the flanking DNA segments. Being positioned at the sides of the nucleosome,

The Histone Database: an integrated resource for histones and histone fold-containing proteins [PDF]
Database, 2011 Eukaryotic chromatin is composed of DNA and protein components-core histones-that act to compactly pack the DNA into nucleosomes, the fundamental building blocks of chromatin. These nucleosomes are connected to adjacent nucleosomes by linker histones. Nucleosomes are highly dynamic and, through various core histone post-translational modifications and ...

Neutralizing the pathological effects of extracellular histones with small polyanions.
, 2020 Extracellular histones in neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) or in chromatin from injured tissues are highly pathological, particularly when liberated by DNases.

Current Approaches to Epigenetic Therapy
Epigenomes, 2023 Epigenetic therapy is a promising tool for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Several fundamental epigenetic approaches have been proposed. Firstly, the use of small molecules as epigenetic effectors, as the most developed pharmacological method,

EMBO reports, 2020 Lysine succinylation (Ksucc) is an evolutionarily conserved and widespread post-translational modification. Histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1) is a type B histone acetyltransferase, regulating the acetylation of both histone and non-histone proteins. However, the role of HAT1 in succinylation modulation remains unclear.

The histone database: A comprehensive resource for histones and histone fold‐containing proteins [PDF]
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2005 AbstractTheThe Histone Database is a curated and searchable collection of full‐length sequences and structures of histones and nonhistone proteins containing histone‐like folds, compiled from major public databases. Several new histone fold‐containing proteins have been identified, including the huntingtin‐interacting protein HYPM.

Probing the (H3-H4)(2) histone tetramer structure using pulsed EPR spectroscopy combined with site-directed spin labelling [PDF]
, 2009 The (H3-H4)(2) histone tetramer forms the central core of nucleosomes and, as such, plays a prominent role in assembly, disassembly and positioning of nucleosomes.

Recombinant Thrombomodulin Suppresses Histone-Induced Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Histones, the major protein components of chromatin, are released into the extracellular space during sepsis, trauma, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, and subsequently mediate organ failure.
