A Proposal on Quantum Histone Modification in Gene Expression
A quantum mechanical model on histone modification is proposed. Along with the methyl / acetate or other groups bound to the modified residues the torsion angles of the nearby histone chain are supposed to participate in the quantum transition cooperatively. The transition rate W is calculated based on the non-radiative quantum transition theory in adiabatic approximation. By using W’s the reac...
متن کاملHistone modification levels are predictive for gene expression.
Histones are frequently decorated with covalent modifications. These histone modifications are thought to be involved in various chromatin-dependent processes including transcription. To elucidate the relationship between histone modifications and transcription, we derived quantitative models to predict the expression level of genes from histone modification levels. We found that histone modifi...
متن کاملThe Impression of Histone Modification and DNA Methylation in Gastric Cancer Development: Molecular Mechanism Approach
The epigenetic alterations like histone modifications , DNA methylation and others remarkable categories including nucleosome remodeling and RNA mediated targeting have been strongly investigated recently .In this way , beside the notable importance of DNA methylation ,the histone modifications are the most important issues in the tumorogenesis and cancer progression. Moreover...
متن کاملHHMD: the human histone modification database
Histone modifications play important roles in chromatin remodeling, gene transcriptional regulation, stem cell maintenance and differentiation. Alterations in histone modifications may be linked to human diseases especially cancer. Histone modifications including methylation, acetylation and ubiquitylation probed by ChIP-seq, ChIP-chip and qChIP have become widely available. Mining and integrat...
متن کاملAberrant histone modification in endometriosis.
Accumulating evidence suggests that epigenetic aberrations play definite roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. These include aberrations in genomic DNA methylation, microRNA expression, and histone modification. The aberrant histone modification status and the aberrant expression of histone deacetylases, which regulate histone acetylation, in endometriosis are the focus of this review. He...
