In vivo incorporation of Drosophila H2a histone into mammalian chromatin.
Hybrid prokaryotic/eukaryotic expression vectors have been used to introduce Drosophila histone genes into CV-1 African green monkey tissue culture cells. Transfection of CV-1 cells with Drosophila genes under the control of insect DNA promoter sequences results in low level expression of histone genes. On the other hand, when the Drosophila H2a gene is juxtaposed downstream from the long termi...
متن کاملCore histone charge and linker histone H1 effects on the chromatin structure of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Histones are highly conserved proteins among eukaryotes. However, yeast histones are more divergent in their sequences. In particular, the histone tail regions of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, have fewer lysine residues, making their charges less positive than those of higher eukaryotes. In addition, the S. pombe chromatin lacks linker histones. How these factors affected yeast ...
متن کاملIdentification and Molecular Characterization of Molluskin, a Histone-H2A-Derived Antimicrobial Peptide from Molluscs
Antimicrobial peptides are humoral innate immune components of molluscs that provide protection against pathogenic microorganisms. Among these, histone-H2A-derived antimicrobial peptides are known to actively participate in host defense responses of molluscs. Present study deals with identification of putative antimicrobial sequences from the histone-H2A of back-water oyster Crassostrea madrase...
متن کاملH2AX: tailoring histone H2A for chromatin-dependent genomic integrity.
During the last decade, chromatin research has been focusing on the role of histone variability as a modulator of chromatin structure and function. Histone variability can be the result of either post-translational modifications or intrinsic variation at the primary structure level: histone variants. In this review, we center our attention on one of the most extensively characterized of such hi...
متن کاملHistone H2A C-Terminus Regulates Chromatin Dynamics, Remodeling, and Histone H1 Binding
The tails of histone proteins are central players for all chromatin-mediated processes. Whereas the N-terminal histone tails have been studied extensively, little is known about the function of the H2A C-terminus. Here, we show that the H2A C-terminal tail plays a pivotal role in regulating chromatin structure and dynamics. We find that cells expressing C-terminally truncated H2A show increased...
