Crosstalk among Histone Modifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Epigenetic regulation is directed, in part, by the correlated placement of histone post-translational modifications, but the mechanisms controlling correlated modifications are incompletely understood. Correlations arise from crosstalk among modifications and are frequently attributed to protein-protein interactions that recruit enzymes to existing histone modifications. Here we report the use ...
متن کاملThe Language of Histone Crosstalk
It has been suggested that a specific pattern of histone posttranslational modifications and their crosstalk may constitute a code that determines transcriptional outcomes. However, recent studies indicate that histone modifications have context-dependent effects, making their interplay more like a language within the chromatin signaling pathway than a code.
متن کاملK4, K9 and K18 in human histone H3 are targets for biotinylation by biotinidase.
Histones are modified post-translationally, e.g. by methylation of lysine and arginine residues, and by phosphorylation of serine residues. These modifications regulate processes such as gene expression, DNA repair, and mitosis and meiosis. Recently, evidence has been provided that histones are also modified by covalent binding of the vitamin biotin. The aims of this study were to identify biot...
متن کاملSURVEY AND SUMMARY Handpicking epigenetic marks with PHD fingers
Plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers have emerged as one of the largest families of epigenetic effectors capable of recognizing or ‘reading’ posttranslational histone modifications and unmodified histone tails. These interactions are highly specific and can be modulated by the neighboring epigenetic marks and adjacent effectors. A few PHD fingers have recently been found to also associate with non-h...
متن کاملBioinformatic and Proteomic Analysis of Bulk Histones Reveals PTM Crosstalk and Chromatin Features
Systems analysis of chromatin has been constrained by complex patterns and dynamics of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs), which represent major challenges for both mass spectrometry (MS) and immuno-based approaches (e.g., chromatin immuno-precipitation, ChIP). Here we present a proof-of-concept study demonstrating that crosstalk among PTMs and their functional significance can be ...
