Histone modifications: Now summoning sumoylation.
H istones can be modified in many ways to affect gene expression, including acetylation deacetylation (1), phosphorylation (2), methylation (3), and ubiquitylation (4). Now, in this issue of PNAS, Shiio and Eisenman (5) report that sumoylation is yet another histone modification, and, interestingly, it may regulate transcriptional repression. Although there may appear to be a bewildering array ...
متن کاملSUMmOning up SUMOylation sites
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a popular and powerful technique for measuring protein interactions. Recently, many photoactivatable fluorescent proteins that can be induced to change their emission properties after exposure to a particular light source have been developed and are finding useful biological applications. Day and colleagues combine these two techniques into a met...
متن کاملP-98: Effect of Mouse Embryo Vitrification on Histone Modifications
Background: Vitrification has been usually used as an assisted reproductive technology in animals and humans. This method needs high concentrations of cryoprotectants that can be toxic with high cooling degrees. Then, vitrification could be change histone modifications such as methylation and acetylation can performance as regulatory controls of gene transcription. So, the purpose of the presen...
متن کاملCrosstalk among Histone Modifications
Histone modifications play a complex role in the regulation of transcription. Recent studies (Duncan et al., 2008; Lee et al., 2007; Li et al., 2008) reveal that regulation of histone modifications can be functionally linked to reinforce the activation or repression of gene expression.
متن کاملHistones and histone modifications
Imagine trying to stuff about 10,000 miles of spaghetti inside a basketball. Then, if that was not difficult enough, attempt to find a unique one inch segment of pasta from the middle of this mess, or try to duplicate, untangle and separate individual strings to opposite ends. This simple analogy illustrates some of the daunting tasks associated with the transcription, repair and replication of...
