Mechanical Stability and Fibrinolytic Resistance of Clots Containing Fibrin, DNA, and Histones [PDF]

, 2013
Neutrophil extracellular traps are networks of DNA and associated proteins produced by nucleosome release from activated neutrophils in response to infection stimuli and have recently been identified as key mediators between innate immunity, inflammation,

Structural Analysis of SMYD3 Lysine Methyltransferase for the Development of Competitive and Specific Enzyme Inhibitors

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

The histone chaperones Nap1 and Vps75 bind histones H3 and H4 in a tetrameric conformation [PDF]

, 2011
Histone chaperones physically interact with histones to direct proper assembly and disassembly of nucleosomes regulating diverse nuclear processes such as DNA replication, promoter remodeling, transcription elongation, DNA damage, and histone variant ...

DNA and factor VII–activating protease protect against the cytotoxicity of histones

Blood Advances, 2017
: Circulating histones have been implicated as major mediators of inflammatory disease because of their strong cytotoxic effects. Histones form the protein core of nucleosomes; however, it is unclear whether histones and nucleosomes are equally cytotoxic.

Histone modifications influence the action of Snf2 family remodelling enzymes by different mechanisms [PDF]

, 2007
Alteration of chromatin structure by chromatin modifying and remodelling activities is a key stage in the regulation of many nuclear processes. These activities are frequently interlinked, and many chromatin remodelling enzymes contain motifs that ...

The role of histones in the immune responses of aquatic invertebrates [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2013
Histones are primary components of eukaryotic chromatin and highly abundant in all animal cells. In addition to their important role in chromatin structure and transcriptional regulation, histones contribute to innate immune responses. In several aquatic

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.

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.

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,

LPS-Challenged Macrophages Release Microvesicles Coated With Histones

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Histones are the protein component of nucleosomes, which are the basic packing unit of chromatin. However, histones are also found in the blood, both as components of nucleosomes leaked out from dead cells, or expelled from neutrophils in the active ...
