Histone H3 disulfide dimers and nucleosome structure.
The arginine-rich histone, H3, isolated from avian erythrocytes, can dimerize by forming a disulfide linkage between the single cysteine sulfhydryl residues at position 110 of the H3 polypeptide chain. The H3 dimer can be substituted for undimerized H3 in experiments in which the nucleosome is reconstituted from DNA and mixtures of the four "core" histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. We report here ...

متن کاملA Histone Code for Chromatin Assembly
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.
متن کاملNucleosome assembly protein 1 exchanges histone H2A-H2B dimers and assists nucleosome sliding.
Eukaryotic chromatin is highly dynamic and turns over rapidly even in the absence of DNA replication. Here we show that the acidic histone chaperone nucleosome assembly protein 1 (NAP-1) from yeast reversibly removes and replaces histone protein dimer H2A-H2B or histone variant dimers from assembled nucleosomes, resulting in active histone exchange. Transient removal of H2A-H2B dimers facilitat...
متن کاملMethylation of a histone mimic within the histone methyltransferase G9a regulates protein complex assembly.
Epigenetic gene silencing in eukaryotes is regulated in part by lysine methylation of the core histone proteins. While histone lysine methylation is known to control gene expression through the recruitment of modification-specific effector proteins, it remains unknown whether nonhistone chromatin proteins are targets for similar modification-recognition systems. Here we show that the histone H3...
