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.

An acidic region of the 89K murine cytomegalovirus immediate early protein interacts with DNA [PDF]
, 1992 The product of the ie 1 gene, the regulatory immediate early protein pp89 of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), interacts with core histones, which can mediate the association of pp89 with DNA.

Different Behavioral Experiences Produce Distinctive Parallel Changes in, and Correlate With, Frontal Cortex and Hippocampal Global Post-translational Histone Levels. [PDF]
, 2018 While it is clear that behavioral experience modulates epigenetic profiles, it is less evident how the nature of that experience influences outcomes and whether epigenetic/genetic biomarkers could be extracted to classify different types of behavioral ...

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.

Abstract P-20: Linker Histone H1: The Interplay between Chromatosome Stability, Oncomutations and Post-Translational Modifications [PDF]
International Journal of Biomedicine, 2019 Background: Variations in the sequence of linker histone (LH) H1 play an important role in the modulation of chromatin functioning. Meanwhile, an effect of LH variations on the chromatin structure remains unclear.

Histone Deacetylases and Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors in Neuroblastoma [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that play a key role in regulating gene expression by remodeling chromatin structure. An imbalance of histone acetylation caused by deregulated HDAC expression and activity is known to promote tumor progression in a number of tumor types, including neuroblastoma, the most common solid tumor in children ...

Circulating Nucleosomes and Histones in the Development of Lung Injury and Sepsis
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyCellular 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.
