Histone deacetylation
Histone posttranslational modifications are essential for the control of gene expression , chromatin structure, and genome integrity. Genome-wide histone modifications induce changes in large-scale chromatin structure leading to the formation of distinct chromosomal domains that are heritable through mitosis and essential for cell division. Transmission of epigenetic information during mitosis ...
متن کاملInhibition of Histone Deacetylation Does Not Block
Epigenetic drugs are in use in clinical trials of various human cancers and are potent at reactivating genes silenced by DNA methylation and chromatin modifications. We report here the analysis of a set of normal fibroblast and cancer cell lines after combination treatment with the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-aza-2¶-deoxycytidine (5-aza-CdR) and the histone deacetylase inhibitor 4-phenylb...
متن کاملUnderstanding histone deacetylation in Huntington’s disease
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects 5 to 10 people per 100,000 inhabitants and it is caused by an aberrant expansion of trinucleotide CAG repeats (>36) in the exon 1 of the huntingtin gene. As a consequence of this mutation, a complex symptomatology of cognitive decline, motor impairment, personality changes and other alterations is usually manifested in mid a...
متن کاملSynthetic histone code.
Chromatin is the universal template of genetic information in all eukaryotic cells. This complex of DNA and histone proteins not only packages and organizes genomes but also regulates gene expression. A multitude of posttranslational histone modifications and their combinations are thought to constitute a code for directing distinct structural and functional states of chromatin. Methods of prot...
متن کاملTranslating the histone code.
Chromatin, the physiological template of all eukaryotic genetic information, is subject to a diverse array of posttranslational modifications that largely impinge on histone amino termini, thereby regulating access to the underlying DNA. Distinct histone amino-terminal modifications can generate synergistic or antagonistic interaction affinities for chromatin-associated proteins, which in turn ...
