Changes of histone H1 subtypes with aging in strains of mice that possess different immunological characteristics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Relative proportions of histone H1 proteins were determined for brain, heart, liver, and spleen for five strains of mice as a function of age. The strains examined were SJL/J and MRL/MPJ-lpr/pr which develop early resistance to tolerance and A/J, C57BL/6J and MRL/MPJ-+/+ which do not. Heart, brain, and liver of most of these strains displayed significant relative increases in histone H1(0) and coordinate decreases in H1I or H1II with age. In contrast, spleen cells, which are highly proliferative, contained little or no histone H1(0). Only spleen cells from a mouse strain with a predisposition to lupus erythematosus, MRL/MPJ-lpr/lpr, displayed any significant H1 changes.

The effect of aspirin on the interaction of histone 05 and 05-DNA
The linker histones (H1 or H5) which play a key role in the folding of chromatin, are general repressors of gene expression. Nuclei of the mature chicken erythrocytes (and in some mammalian cells) contain both of them. Although the interaction of H5 with DNA is stronger than that of H1, it does not prevent the transcription of some erythroid-specific genes. It has been shown that some modificat...

Linker histone H1 belongs to the family of proteins that are involved in organizing eukaryotic DNA into a compact structure. Many types of linker histone H1 are found in mammals; and the subtypes are cell specific and their amount in different types of cells varies according to the cell functions. Post-translational modifications occur on different amino acids in each subtype of linker histone ...
متن کاملWhat is the role of histone H1 heterogeneity? A functional model emerges from a 50 year mystery
For the past 50 years, understanding the function of histone H1 heterogeneity has been mired in confusion and contradiction. Part of the reason for this is the lack of a working model that tries to explain the large body of data that has been collected about the H1 subtypes so far. In this review, a global model is described largely based on published data from the author and other researchers ...

Aging is the outcome of the progressive accumulation of different alterations in the body which accompanied with gradual decrease of the efficiencies of normal physiological functions and the capacity to maintain homeostasis that lead to the increase in disease probability and the death of people. The researchers have done different experiments especially on animal models for the perception of ...
متن کاملMammalian linker-histone subtypes differentially affect gene expression in vivo.
Posttranslational modifications and remodeling of nucleosomes are critical factors in the regulation of transcription. Higher-order folding of chromatin also is likely to contribute to the control of gene expression, but the absence of a detailed description of the structure of the chromatin fiber has impaired progress in this area. Mammalian somatic cells contain a set of H1 linker-histone sub...
