Binding Mechanism of the Linker Histone in Live Cells: An Integrated FRAP Analysis”
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two of the eight constructs (the triple-knockout 3K0 and S1) were well fit by the diffusion model yielding estimates for D. These are listed as Deff in Table I since the estimated D values are too slow to be explained by free diffusion, and so instead reflect the process of effective diffusion whereby fast binding interactions combine with free diffusion to mimic a slowed diffusion (Sprague et al., 2004;Carrero et al., 2004;Beaudouin et al., 2006).

Dissecting the binding mechanism of the linker histone in live cells: an integrated FRAP analysis.
The linker histone H1 has a fundamental role in DNA compaction. Although models for H1 binding generally involve the H1 C-terminal tail and sites S1 and S2 within the H1 globular domain, there is debate about the importance of these binding regions and almost nothing is known about how they work together. Using a novel fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) procedure, we have measure...

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...
متن کاملIsoform-specific phosphorylation of human linker histone H1.4 in mitosis by the kinase Aurora B.
The linker histone H1 plays an essential role in maintaining and establishing higher-order chromatin structure. As with core histones, histone H1 is also extensively covalently modified. We showed previously that phosphorylation of S27 in human histone H1.4 (H1.4S27-P), prevents binding of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) family members (officially known as chromobox protein homologs) to the nei...
متن کاملPhosphorylation and an ATP-dependent process increase the dynamic exchange of H1 in chromatin
In Tetrahymena cells, phosphorylation of linker histone H1 regulates transcription of specific genes. Phosphorylation acts by creating a localized negative charge patch and phenocopies the loss of H1 from chromatin, suggesting that it affects transcription by regulating the dissociation of H1 from chromatin. To test this hypothesis, we used FRAP of GFP-tagged H1 to analyze the effects of mutati...
متن کاملBINDING OF THE ANTITUMOR DRUG ADRIAMYCIN TO DNA-HISTONE COMPLEXES
Isotherms of the binding of the anthracycIine antibiotic, adriamycin (adriblastin), to DNA histone complexes was studied by means of spectroscopic analysis. The results indicated that: (a) binding of adriamycin to histones reduced the interaction of histones with DNA, (b) binding of the drug to DNA did not change the binding affinity of histone to DNA and, (c) in the explored binding range...
