The control of histone gene expression.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Histone proteins are essential for the packaging of DNA into chromosomes. Histone gene expression is cell-cycle-regulated and coupled to DNA replication. Control of histone gene expression occurs at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level and ensures that a fine balance between histone abundance and DNA replication is maintained for the correct packaging of newly replicated DNA into chromosomes. In the present paper, we review histone gene expression, highlighting the control mechanisms and key molecules involved in this process.

Background: Infertility is a complex medical problem. About 15% of couples are infertile, and male infertility being involved in roughly 50% of the cases. Among these, many cases are associated with a severe impairment of spermatogenesis. During the last stage of spermatogenesis (spermiogenesis), sperm chromatin endures complex modifications in which histones are lost and depositioned with tran...

Background: Epigenetic modifications are involved in different cellular processes through regulating chromatin dynamics. histone methylation is an important modification that can be dynamically regulated by histone methyltransferase and histone demethylase enzymes. JMJD1A (also known as JHDM2A and KDM3A) is a histone demethylase specific for H3K9me2/me1. JMJD1A is a key epigenetic regulator tha...

Background: During the later stages of spermatogenesis, spermatid nuclear remodeling and condensation are associated with histone modifications and the sequential displacement of histones by transition proteins and then by protamines. In humans, approximately 15% of the sperm DNA remains packaged by histones in sequence-specific areas. The histone variant H2B, member W, testis-specific (H2BFWT)...

Background Cytochrome aromatase p450, encoded by the gene CYP19A1, is a key enzyme for estrogen biosynthesis. Among the multiple promoters of CYP19A1, the proximal promoter PII is the most active ones in ovary and endometrium. Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen dependent gynecological condition characterized by the presence of ectopic glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Recently, evi...

Background: The aberrant and altered patterns of gene expression play an important role in the biology of cancer and tumorigenesis. DNA methylation and histone deacetylation are the most studied epigenetic mechanisms. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) such as valproic acid (VPA) and trichostatin A (TSA) are a group of anticancer compounds for the treatment of solid and hematological canc...
