چکیده
Covalent modifications of the amino-termini of the core histones in nucleosomes have been shown to be one of the key regulatory mechanisms in transcription regulation. Recently, new roles for histone modifications have been uncovered for the efficient functioning of RNA Pol II. Besides acetylation, which is the most characterized to date these modifications comprise phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination. This review gives comprehensive view of all the major histone modifications and their effect on transcriptional regulation, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

متن کاملHistone ubiquitylation and chromatin dynamics.
Histones are subject to several post-translational modifications, which act to regulate gene expression and other processes on the DNA template. One such modification is the addition of a single ubiquitin moiety, which has been reported to influence chromatin dynamics and exhibit cross-talk with other histone modifications. Mono-ubiquitylation of H2B has been reported in eukaryotes as divergent...
متن کاملNew anti-cancer strategies: epigenetic therapies and biomarkers.
Epigenetics is the study of chromatin modifications that affect gene expression without altering DNA nucleotide sequences. This review highlights a prominent role for epigenetic therapies, particularly those that reverse aberrant DNA methylation and histone acetylation, in the potential treatment of cancer. Administration of such therapies to reverse epigenetic "silencing" of tumor suppressors,...
متن کاملHydrolysis of angiotensin II receptor blocker prodrug olmesartan medoxomil by human serum albumin and identification of its catalytic active sites.
In the present study, we investigated the esterase-like activity of human serum albumin (HSA) and the mechanism by which it hydrolyzes, and thereby activates, olmesartan medoxomil (CS-866), a novel angiotensin II receptor antagonist. CS-866 has previously been shown to be rapidly hydrolyzed in serum in which HSA appeared to play the most important role in catalyzing the hydrolysis. We found tha...
