Human thioredoxin 2 deficiency impairs mitochondrial redox homeostasis and causes early-onset neurodegeneration.
Thioredoxin 2 (TXN2; also known as Trx2) is a small mitochondrial redox protein essential for the control of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species homeostasis, apoptosis regulation and cell viability. Exome sequencing in a 16-year-old adolescent suffering from an infantile-onset neurodegenerative disorder with severe cerebellar atrophy, epilepsy, dystonia, optic atrophy, and peripheral neuropat...
متن کاملHistone H2AX in DNA repair
In eucaryotic cells, DNA is bound to various proteins and forms a complex nucleoprotein structure called chromatin. Indispensable and ubiquitous chromatin components are histones, small proteins of highly conserved primary structure. Two molecules of each H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 type, form the nucleosomal core around which a 146 base pair (bp) stretch of DNA is wrapped. Histone H1 is bound to about...
متن کاملPerturbed gap-filling synthesis in nucleotide excision repair causes histone H2AX phosphorylation in human quiescent cells.
Human histone H2AX is rapidly phosphorylated on serine 139 in response to DNA double-strand breaks and plays a crucial role in tethering the factors involved in DNA repair and damage signaling. Replication stress caused by hydroxyurea or UV also initiates H2AX phosphorylation in S-phase cells, although UV-induced H2AX phosphorylation in non-cycling cells has recently been observed. Here we stud...
متن کاملH2AX: the histone guardian of the genome.
At close hand to one's genomic material are the histones that make up the nucleosome. Standing guard, one variant stays hidden doubling as one of the core histones. But, thanks to its prime positioning, a variation in the tail of H2AX enables rapid modification of the histone code in response to DNA damage. A role for H2AX phosphorylation has been demonstrated in DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoi...
متن کاملCritical role of lysine 134 methylation on histone H2AX for γ-H2AX production and DNA repair
The presence of phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) is associated with the local activation of DNA-damage repair pathways. Although γ-H2AX deregulation in cancer has previously been reported, the molecular mechanism involved and its relationship with other histone modifications remain largely unknown. Here we find that the histone methyltransferase SUV39H2 methylates histone H2AX on lysine 134...
