Biological applications of chemically modified recombinant histones

open access: yes, 2022
In eukaryotes, DNA is packaged into repeating units called nucleosomes, which consist of ~150 base pairs of DNA wrapped around eight proteins called histones.

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

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Proteomic Analysis of Serum Lysine Acetylation in Uyghur Patients With T2DM

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Lysine acetylation is a reversible modification process after protein translation, which plays a key regulatory role in various metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

Histones and histone modifications in protozoan parasites

open access: yesCellular 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.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

The Histone Database [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2002
Histone proteins are often noted for their high degree of sequence conservation. It is less often recognized that the histones are a heterogeneous protein family. Furthermore, several classes of non-histone proteins containing the histone fold motif exist.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Preparation and characterization of DNA aptamer based spin column for enrichment and separation of histones

open access: yes, 2012
Core histones play a critical role in the regulation of chromatin-templated biological process. Here we have developed a novel approach to enrich histone proteins based on the recognition of a specific aptamer.

Megakaryocytes contain extranuclear histones and may be a source of platelet-associated histones during sepsis

open access: yes, 2020
Histones are typically located within the intracellular compartment, and more specifically, within the nucleus. When histones are located within the extracellular compartment, they change roles and become damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs ...
