Structural cooperativity in histone H3 tail modifications.
Post-translational modifications of histone H3 tails have crucial roles in regulation of cellular processes. There is cross-regulation between the modifications of K4, K9, and K14 residues. The modifications on these residues drastically promote or inhibit each other. In this work, we studied the structural changes of the histone H3 tail originating from the three most important modifications; ...
متن کاملHistone Tail Modifications of H3 and H4 during the Physarum polycephalum Cell Cycle
Problem statement: Histone modifications are required for chromatin activities and are believed to form an epigenetic code. However, the inheritance of the histone post-translational modifications remains unclear. Approach and Results: The aim of this study was to evaluate the histone modifications throughout the cell cycle and to determine whether the histone marks are transferred to daughter ...
متن کاملUncoupling histone turnover from transcription-associated histone H3 modifications
Transcription in eukaryotes is associated with two major changes in chromatin organization. Firstly, nucleosomal histones are continuously replaced by new histones, an event that in yeast occurs predominantly at transcriptionally active promoters. Secondly, histones become modified post-translationally at specific lysine residues. Some modifications, including histone H3 trimethylation at lysin...
متن کاملHistone h3 modifications in rat hepatic stellate cells by ethanol.
AIMS Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play critical roles in the development of hepatic fibrosis caused by various agents including alcohol. Ethanol causes post-translational modification in histone. The goal of this study is to investigate whether ethanol affected acetylation and methylation of histone H3 in rat HSCs. METHODS We isolated and separated HSCs using collagenase perfusion of liver f...
متن کاملStructural basis of molecular recognition of helical histone H3 tail by PHD finger domains
The plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers are among the largest family of epigenetic domains, first characterized as readers of methylated H3K4. Readout of histone post-translational modifications by PHDs has been the subject of intense investigation; however, less is known about the recognition of secondary structure features within the histone tail itself. We solved the crystal structure of the PHD...
