Histones with High Lysine Content
1. The preparation and properties of lysine-rich histones, which differ in a number of respects from the classical arginine-rich histones, have been described. 2. Lysine-rich histones, like those previously known, are located in cell nuclei. 3. Lysine-rich histones dissociate more readily from combination with nucleic acid than do other histones.
متن کاملBiofortification of rice with the essential amino acid lysine: molecular characterization, nutritional evaluation, and field performance
Rice (Oryza sativa L.), a major staple crop worldwide, has limited levels of the essential amino acid lysine. We previously produced engineered rice with increased lysine content by expressing bacterial aspartate kinase and dihydrodipicolinate synthase and inhibiting rice lysine ketoglutarate reductase/saccharopine dehydrogenase activity. However, the grain quality, field performance, and integ...
متن کاملIron Biofortification of Myanmar Rice
Iron (Fe) deficiency elevates human mortality rates, especially in developing countries. In Myanmar, the prevalence of Fe-deficient anemia in children and pregnant women are 75 and 71%, respectively. Myanmar people have one of the highest per capita rice consumption rates globally. Consequently, production of Fe-biofortified rice would likely contribute to solving the Fe-deficiency problem in t...
متن کاملLysine methylation: beyond histones.
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of histone proteins, such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitylation, play essential roles in regulating chromatin dynamics. Combinations of different modifications on the histone proteins, termed 'histone code' in many cases, extend the information potential of the genetic code by regulating DNA at the epigenetic level. Many PTMs occ...
متن کاملImportance and advantages of rice biofortification with iron and zinc
Rice (Oryza sativa) being the staple food for almost twothirds of the population plays a pivotal role in Indian economy. Moreover, India ranks first in the world in area of rice cultivation with 43.97 million ha and second in production with 104.32 million tons (Anonymous 2013). Almost 31% of calories of Indian diet are supplied through rice. Research efforts focused on development of high-yiel...
