Chromatin replication: TRANSmitting the histone code.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Efficient overcoming of the nucleosomal barrier and accurate maintenance of associated histone marks during chromatin replication are essential for normal functioning of the cell. Recent studies revealed new protein factors and histone modifications contributing to overcoming the nucleosomal barrier, and suggested an important role for DNA looping in survival of the original histones during replication. These studies suggest new possible mechanisms for transmitting the histone code to next generations of cells.

Histone lysine methylation and chromatin replication.
In eukaryotic organisms, the replication of the DNA sequence and its organization into chromatin are critical to maintain genome integrity. Chromatin components, such as histone variants and histone post-translational modifications, along with the higher-order chromatin structure, impact several DNA metabolic processes, including replication, transcription, and repair. In this review we focus o...
متن کاملRole of hypoxia-inducible factors in epigenetic regulation via histone demethylases.
Eukaryotic chromatin is subject to multiple posttranslational histone modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. These various covalent modifications have been proposed to constitute a "histone code," playing important roles in the establishment of global chromatin environments, transcription, DNA repair, and DNA replication. Among these modifications, ...

متن کاملAnalysis of histone deposition on specific DNA elements in living mammalian cells.
DNA replication and repair involve the deposition of newly synthesized histones. After their deposition on a specific locus, histones are extensively modified on their protruding N-terminal tails to restore the histone code corresponding to this locus. These processes require a complex machinery of histone chaperones and histone-modifying enzymes. The precise kinetics of these events and the id...
متن کاملThe preRC protein ORCA organizes heterochromatin by assembling histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferases on chromatin
Heterochromatic domains are enriched with repressive histone marks, including histone H3 lysine 9 methylation, written by lysine methyltransferases (KMTs). The pre-replication complex protein, origin recognition complex-associated (ORCA/LRWD1), preferentially localizes to heterochromatic regions in post-replicated cells. Its role in heterochromatin organization remained elusive. ORCA recognizes...
