Gene Regulation: Histones, HDACs, PARPs, Ubiquitination & Sumoylation
Ubiquitination & Sumoylation C e l l C y c l e & D N A T r a n s a c t i o n s In eukaryotes, the several meters long genomic DNA needs to be packed into chromosomes with a diameter of only several hundred micrometers. This is achieved through an elaborated scheme of packaging that starts with the formation of nucleosomes from DNA winding around an octamer core of histones H2A/H2B/H3/H4, foll...
متن کاملDeacetylate to differentiate
Deacetylate to differentiate any progenitor cell types start differentiation by turning on transcription. But on page 577, Shen et al. show that oligodendrocytes (OLs)—the myelin-forming cells of the nervous system—require a general transcriptional shutdown for differentiation. The transcriptional slowing is due to histone deacetylation, which compacts chromatin. The authors find that histone H...
متن کاملHDACs and HDAC Inhibitors in Cancer Development and Therapy.
Over the last several decades, it has become clear that epigenetic abnormalities may be one of the hallmarks of cancer. Posttranslational modifications of histones, for example, may play a crucial role in cancer development and progression by modulating gene transcription, chromatin remodeling, and nuclear architecture. Histone acetylation, a well-studied posttranslational histone modification,...
متن کاملHistone deacetylases as targets for treatment of multiple diseases.
HDACs (histone deacetylases) are a group of enzymes that deacetylate histones as well as non-histone proteins. They are known as modulators of gene transcription and are associated with proliferation and differentiation of a variety of cell types and the pathogenesis of some diseases. Recently, HDACs have come to be considered crucial targets in various diseases, including cancer, interstitial ...
