Structural characterization of the histone variant macroH2A.
macroH2A is an H2A variant with a highly unusual structural organization. It has a C-terminal domain connected to the N-terminal histone domain by a linker. Crystallographic and biochemical studies show that changes in the L1 loop in the histone fold region of macroH2A impact the structure and potentially the function of nucleosomes. The 1.6-A X-ray structure of the nonhistone region reveals an...
متن کاملHistone H2A variants and the inactive X chromosome: identification of a second macroH2A variant.
MacroH2A1 is an unusual variant of the core histone H2A which is enriched in chromatin on the inactive X chromosome of female mammals. The N-terminal third of the protein shares 65% amino acid identity with core histone H2A, while the remaining two-thirds of the protein are novel, with a small stretch of basic amino acids and a putative leucine zipper motif. We have now cloned a second macroH2A...
متن کاملphyB of tobacco, a new member of the phytochrome family.
Phytochrome plays a central role in the light-dependent regulation of photomorphogenesis such as seed germination, stem growth, and floral induction as well as chloroplast development and anthocyanin synthesis. This photoreceptor has been shown to modulate the pattems of expression for many plant genes (Nagy et al., 1988; Quail, 1991). Plants synthesize the physiologically inactive, red-light a...
متن کاملBovine stefin C, a new member of the stefin family.
Four low M(r) cysteine proteinase inhibitors with different pI values were isolated from bovine thymus using alkaline activation of the gland homogenate, affinity chromatography on carboxymethyl-papain-Sepharose, gel filtration on Sephadex G-50, ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-cellulose column and a fast protein liquid chromatography Mono Q column, and hydrophobic chromatography on a TSK ...
متن کاملGenome Stability: A New Member of the RFC family
Three distinct forms of replication factor C are known to play vital roles in genome replication and integrity in eukaryotic cells. A fourth such complex has recently been identified; initial results suggest that this new family member plays an important role during S phase.
