A Histone Code for Chromatin Assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue, two papers implicate histone H3 lysine 56 acetylation in histone deposition in chromatin. Li et al. (2008) show that acetylation of H3K56 promotes S phase chromatin assembly that is mediated by the histone chaperones CAF-1 and Rtt106. Chen et al. (2008) establish that the acetylation mark promotes chromatin reassembly following DNA double-strand break repair.

Histone Modifications: An Assembly Line for Active Chromatin?
Histone modifications play a major role in the control of genes in their natural chromatin context. A detailed, time-resolved analysis of histone modifications during gene activation has now revealed the order of appearance of particular histone modifications on a promoter during regulatory processes.
متن کاملI-40: Male Genome Programming, Infertility and Cancer
Background: During male germ cells differentiation, genomewide re-organizations and highly specific programming of the male genome occur. These changes not only include the large-scale meiotic shuffling of genes, taking place in spermatocytes, but also a complete “re-packaging” of the male genome in post meiotic cells, leading to a highly compacted nucleo-protamine structure in the mature sperm...
متن کاملProtein kinase C coordinates histone H3 phosphorylation and acetylation
The re-assembly of chromatin following DNA replication is a critical event in the maintenance of genome integrity. Histone H3 acetylation at K56 and phosphorylation at T45 are two important chromatin modifications that accompany chromatin assembly. Here we have identified the protein kinase Pkc1 as a key regulator that coordinates the deposition of these modifications in S. cerevisiae under con...
متن کاملRegulation of Replication Fork Advance and Stability by Nucleosome Assembly
The advance of replication forks to duplicate chromosomes in dividing cells requires the disassembly of nucleosomes ahead of the fork and the rapid assembly of parental and de novo histones at the newly synthesized strands behind the fork. Replication-coupled chromatin assembly provides a unique opportunity to regulate fork advance and stability. Through post-translational histone modifications...
متن کاملHistone H3.3 is enriched in covalent modifications associated with active chromatin.
Chromatin states can be distinguished by differential covalent modifications of histones or by utilization of histone variants. Chromatin associated with transcriptionally active loci becomes enriched for histones with particular lysine modifications and accumulates the H3.3 histone variant, the substrate for replication-independent nucleosome assembly. However, studies of modifications at part...
