Histone Sequence Database: a compilation of highly-conserved nucleoprotein sequences
By searching the current protein sequence databases using sequences from human and chicken histones H1/H5, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4, a database of aligned histone protein sequences with statistically significant sequence similarity to the search sequence was constructed. In addition, a nucleotide sequence database of the corresponding coding regions for these proteins has been assembled. The region ...
متن کاملHistone acetylation and control of gene expression.
The post-translational acetylation of the core histories was first recognised more than a quarter of a century ago (Allfrey et al. 1964). Since then, considerable research effort has been expended in attempting to reveal the mechanisms by which acetylation is controlled and, most importantly, its functional significance. The reasons for the interest in this phenomenon are not hard to find. The ...
متن کاملHistone-histone interactions and centromere function.
Cse4p is a structural component of the core centromere of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is a member of the conserved CENP-A family of specialized histone H3 variants. The histone H4 allele hhf1-20 confers defects in core centromere chromatin structure and mitotic chromosome transmission. We have proposed that Cse4p and histone H4 interact through their respective histone fold domains to assemble...
متن کاملHistone acetylation in gene regulation.
Genetic information is packaged in the highly dynamic nucleoprotein structure called chromatin. Many biological processes are regulated via post-translational modifications of key proteins. Acetylation of lysine residues at the N-terminal histone tails is one of the most studied covalent modifications influencing gene regulation in eukaryotic cells. This review focuses on the role of enzymes in...
متن کاملAlterations in DNA replication and histone levels promote histone gene amplification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Gene amplification, a process that increases the copy number of a gene or a genomic region to two or more, is utilized by many organisms in response to environmental stress or decreased levels of a gene product. Our previous studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae identified the amplification of a histone H2A-H2B gene pair, HTA2-HTB2, in response to the deletion of the other H2A-H2B gene pair, HTA1...
