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.

Extracellular Acetylated Histone 3.3 Induces Inflammation and Lung Tissue Damage

Biomolecules, 2023
Extracellular histones, part of the protein group known as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), are released from damaged or dying cells and can instigate cellular toxicity.

Histones and histone modifications in protozoan parasites

Cellular Microbiology, 2006
Protozoan parasites are early branching eukaryotes causing significant morbidity and mortality in humans and livestock. Single-celled parasites have evolved complex life cycles, which may involve multiple host organisms, and strategies to evade host immune responses.

Mechanism of chromatin reassembly at the yeast PHO5 promoter upon repression [PDF]

, 2007
The goal of this study has been to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for rebuilding nucleosomes at the PHO5 promoter upon rerepression. In this work, I could unambiguously show that histones are incorporated at the PHO5 promoter upon repression ...

Antifungal Activity of Antimicrobial Peptides and Proteins against Aspergillus fumigatus

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) provide an important line of defence against invading microorganisms. However, the activity of AMPs against the human fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus remains poorly understood.

Phasor Histone FLIM-FRET Microscopy Maps Nuclear-Wide Nanoscale Chromatin Architecture With Respect to Genetically Induced DNA Double-Strand Breaks

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
A DNA double-strand break (DSB) takes place in the context of chromatin, and there is increasing evidence for chromatin structure to play a functional role in DSB signaling and repair.

The histone chaperones Vps75 and Nap1 form ring-like, tetrameric structures in solution [PDF]

, 2013
NAP-1 fold histone chaperones play an important role in escorting histones to and from sites of nucleosome assembly and disassembly. The two NAP-1 fold histone chaperones in budding yeast, Vps75 and Nap1, have previously been crystalized in a ...

ADP-ribosylation: An emerging regulator of the epigenome. [PDF]

Mol Oncol
ADP‐ribosylation has emerged as a dynamic epigenetic signaling mechanism that modifies histones and chromatin‐associated proteins. Through coordinated PARylation and MARylation, it integrates with other histone modifications to regulate chromatin structure, transcription factor activity, and gene expression, influencing genome function and disease ...

Circulating Nucleosomes and Histones in the Development of Lung Injury and Sepsis

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Cellular nucleosomes—the structural and functional units of chromatin—are inherently present in cells. During cellular damage or cell death, nucleosomes are released into circulation, either actively or passively.
