Redistribution of Histone Marks on Inflammatory Genes Associated With Intracerebral Hemorrhage-Induced Acute Brain Injury in Aging Rats

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The contribution of histone mark redistribution to the age-induced decline of endogenous neuroprotection remains unclear. In this study, we used an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced acute brain injury rat model to study the transcriptional and ...

LSD1 demethylates histone and non-histone proteins [PDF]

Epigenetics, 2009
One of the key breakthroughs in the epigenetics/chromatin field in the last several years was the identification of enzymes capable of removing the methyl group from methylated lysines in histone proteins. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) was the first such enzyme identified, which has been shown to demethylate histone H3 on lysine 4 (H3K4) and ...

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Bactericidal activity of mammalian histones is caused by large membrane pore formation

Cell Reports
Summary: Histones have an important role in eukaryotic innate immunity, wherein histones co-localize with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The mechanism of histone cooperation with AMPs and the extent to which histones form pores both remain a mystery ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Controlling histone methylation via trans-histone pathways [PDF]

Epigenetics, 2008
Covalent post-translational modifications of histones have been demonstrated to participate in a wide array of cellular processes, including regulation of gene transcription, gene repression, DNA double strand break repair and mitosis. Regulation of how these covalent modifications, and the implications of this regulation, are currently of great ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

Distinctive Nuclear Features of Dinoflagellates with A Particular Focus on Histone and Histone-Replacement Proteins

Microorganisms, 2018
Dinoflagellates are important eukaryotic microorganisms that play critical roles as producers and grazers, and cause harmful algal blooms. The unusual nuclei of dinoflagellates “dinokaryon„ have led researchers to investigate their enigmatic ...

PICALM::MLLT10 translocated leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This comprehensive review of PICALM::MLLT10 translocated acute leukemia provides an in‐depth review of the structure and function of CALM, AF10, and the fusion oncoprotein (1). The multifaceted molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, including nucleocytoplasmic shuttling (2), epigenetic modifications (3), and disruption of endocytosis (4), are then ...
