Study of Protein Requirements for Histone Deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Histone deposition proteins CAF-1 and Asf-1 impact multiple aspects of chromosome formation and are essential in yeast to prevent DNA damage and avoid chromosomal rearrangement. Using fractionated yeast cell extracts, this MQP attempted to identify stimulatory factors which are necessary and sufficient for histone deposition by CAF-1 and/or Asf1. Identification of these cofactors, would provide insight into the reaction pathway and mechanism of histone deposition. Results were inconclusive, but improvements were proposed for the future success of this project.

A Review on Recent Findings on Amino Acids Requirements in Poult-Studies
Amino acids (AA) are important in poultry nutrition not only for protein deposition, but also for other metabolic functions; such as improving immune and gut functions. Although, some table values are available on amino acids requirement, AA requirements may vary due to changes in dietary composition and breeding selection. Thus amino acids requirements have remained an ongoing research topic. ...
متن کاملP-116: Absence of JMJD1A, A Testis- Specific Histone Demethylase, in Tissue Samples of TESE Negative Men
Background During mammalian spermatogenesis unique and dynamic epigenetic events occur leading to chromatin condensation. Through these events, histone demethylases such as JMJD1A play important roles in compaction of sperm chromatin, due to regulation of histone methylation dynamics and alteration of chromatin structure. As �histone methylation� is one of the best-characterized modifications i...

Background: Infertility is a complex medical problem. About 15% of couples are infertile, and male infertility being involved in roughly 50% of the cases. Among these, many cases are associated with a severe impairment of spermatogenesis. During the last stage of spermatogenesis (spermiogenesis), sperm chromatin endures complex modifications in which histones are lost and depositioned with tran...

متن کاملH3.Y discriminates between HIRA and DAXX chaperone complexes and reveals unexpected insights into human DAXX-H3.3-H4 binding and deposition requirements
Histone chaperones prevent promiscuous histone interactions before chromatin assembly. They guarantee faithful deposition of canonical histones and functionally specialized histone variants into chromatin in a spatial- and temporally-restricted manner. Here, we identify the binding partners of the primate-specific and H3.3-related histone variant H3.Y using several quantitative mass spectrometr...
