The structural organization and DNA sequence of a wheat histone H4 gene.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some wheat histone H4 genes have been cloned from a Charon 4 wheat genomic DNA library using sea urchin histone H4 DNA as a probe. DNA sequence analysis of a cloned gene showed that the deduced amino acid sequence of wheat histone H4 protein was identical to that of pea. The 5' end of wheat histone H4 mRNA was mapped on the cloned gene by the S1-procedure. Southern blotting analysis of the genomic DNA indicated that histone H4 genes were reiterated 100 to 125 times per hexaploid wheat genome.

Multiscale modeling of nucleosome dynamics.
Nucleosomes form the fundamental building blocks of chromatin. Subtle modifications of the constituent histone tails mediate chromatin stability and regulate gene expression. For this reason, it is important to understand structural dynamics of nucleosomes at atomic levels. We report a novel multiscale model of the fundamental chromatin unit, a nucleosome, using a simplified model for rapid dis...
متن کاملStructural Basis for the Methylation State-Specific Recognition of Histone H4-K20 by 53BP1 and Crb2 in DNA Repair
Histone lysine methylation has been linked to the recruitment of mammalian DNA repair factor 53BP1 and putative fission yeast homolog Crb2 to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), but how histone recognition is achieved has not been established. Here we demonstrate that this link occurs through direct binding of 53BP1 and Crb2 to histone H4. Using X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance...
متن کاملThe genes coding for histone H3 and H4 in Neurospora crassa are unique and contain intervening sequences.
Sequences coding for histone H3 and H4 of Neurospora crassa could be identified in genomic digests with the use of the corresponding genes from sea urchin and X. laevis as hybridization probes. A 2.6 kb HindIII-generated N. crassa DNA fragment, showing homology with the heterologous histone H3-gene probes was cloned in a charon 21A vector. Using DNA from this clone as a homologous hybridization...
متن کاملIsolation and use of a homologous histone H4 promoter and a ribosomal DNA region in a transformation vector for the oil-producing fungus Mortierella alpina.
Mortierella alpina was transformed successfully to hygromycin B resistance by using a homologous histone H4 promoter to drive gene expression and a homologous ribosomal DNA region to promote chromosomal integration. This is the first description of transformation in this commercially important oleaginous organism. Two pairs of histone H3 and H4 genes were isolated from this fungus. Each pair co...

Effect of trichostatin A on histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC 1) and CIP/KIP (p21CIP1/WAF1, p27KIP1, and p57KIP2) gene expression, cell growth inhibition and apoptosis induction in lung cancer COR-L105 cell line. Abstract Background: Lung cancer is one the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with more than 1.2 million deaths each year. In addition to genetic mutations, epigenetic modif...
