K12-biotinylated histone H4 marks heterochromatin in human lymphoblastoma cells.
Covalent modifications of histones play crucial roles in chromatin structure and genomic stability. Recently, we reported a novel modification of histones: biotinylation of lysine residues. Here we provide evidence that K12-biotinylated histone H4 (K12Bio H4) maps specifically to both heterochromatin (alpha satellite repeats in pericentromeric regions) and transcriptionally repressed chromatin ...
متن کاملThe histone chaperone Vps75 forms multiple oligomeric assemblies capable of mediating exchange between histone H3–H4 tetramers and Asf1–H3–H4 complexes
Vps75 is a histone chaperone that has been historically characterized as homodimer by X-ray crystallography. In this study, we present a crystal structure containing two related tetrameric forms of Vps75 within the crystal lattice. We show Vps75 associates with histones in multiple oligomers. In the presence of equimolar H3-H4 and Vps75, the major species is a reconfigured Vps75 tetramer bound ...
متن کاملReal-time imaging of histone H4 hyperacetylation in living cells.
To visualize histone acetylation in living cells, we developed a genetically encoded fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based indicator. Response of the indicator reflects changes in the acetylation state of both K5 and K8 in histone H4. Using this acetylation indicator, we were able to monitor the dynamic fluctuation of histone H4 acetylation levels during mitosis, as well as acetyla...
متن کاملHigh-level expression of human histone H4 in E. coli.
The relationship between structure and function of the nucleosome is an area of exciting and intense research, exemplified by the recent report of the first high-resolution crystallography data (5). The nucleosome, the basic unit of chromatin, consists of DNA wrapped around the core histones H3, H4, H2A and H2B. This structure serves not only to package and organize the two meters of DNA found ...
متن کاملHistones in transit: cytosolic histone complexes and diacetylation of H4 during nucleosome assembly in human cells.
The organization and acetylation of nascent histones prior to their stable incorporation into chromatin were examined. Through sedimentation and immunoprecipitation analyses of HeLa cytosolic extracts, two somatic non-nucleosomal histone complexes were detected: one containing nascent H3 and H4, and a second containing H2A (and probably H2B) in association with the nonhistone protein NAP-1. The...
