KDM5B, a histone lysine demethylase “eraser” protein, is transcriptional repressor of active promoter regions on 3 K4. KDM5B crucial to regulating gene expression and development. Previously, all mutations in were described cancer. High-performance sequencing revealed missense, frameshift, nonsense that can be linked developmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review summa...

The histone-like proteins (HU) belong to a family of DNA architectural proteins that stabilize nucleoprotein complexes. We found a putative HU protein (TgGlmHMM_3045) in Toxoplasma gondii genome that was homologous to the bacterial HU protein. This putative sequence was located in the scaffold TGG_995361 of the chromosome 10. The sequence included the prokaryotic bacterial histone-like domain, ...

The major protein fraction of the protamine-like PL-II* (phi 2B) from the sperm of Mytilus californianus has been sequenced and characterized. Immunological and sequence analyses unequivocally show that this protein is indeed a member of the histone H1 family. Along with proteins of the histone H1 class, the protein also shows cross-reactivity and sequence identity, in its NH2-terminal region, ...

This paper summarizes the contents of a talk delivered at MS University Baroda (Vadodara, Gujarat) on 3rd March, 2023, conference held to celebrate proteins in commemoration birth centenary Prof. G. N. Ramachandran. Here, we review several recent discoveries and applications from our group that relate HU, DNA-binding nucleoid-associated protein found bacteria: (1) HU uses its sites bind lipopol...

abstract: background: the availability of testis specific genes will be of help in choosing the most promising biomarkers for the detection of testicular sperm retrieval in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (noa). cdy1 histone acetyltransferase is a histone modifier which concentrates in the nucleus of round spermatids, where histone hyperacetylation occurs and causes the replacement of...
