Histones with High Lysine Content
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The preparation and properties of lysine-rich histones, which differ in a number of respects from the classical arginine-rich histones, have been described. 2. Lysine-rich histones, like those previously known, are located in cell nuclei. 3. Lysine-rich histones dissociate more readily from combination with nucleic acid than do other histones.

Self-association of Chaetopterus variopedatus sperm histone H1-like. Relevance of arginine content and possible physiological role.
Self-association of histones H1 from calf thymus and from sperm of the marine worm Chaetopterus variopedatus was studied on native and glutaraldehyde cross-linked molecules by PAGE and by salt-induced turbidity measurements. Multiple polymers were generated by native sperm histone H1-like after glutaraldehyde cross-linking while the same treatment on its lysine- or arginine-modified derivatives...
متن کاملNε-Formylation of lysine is a widespread post-translational modification of nuclear proteins occurring at residues involved in regulation of chromatin function
Post-translational modification of histones and other chromosomal proteins regulates chromatin conformation and gene activity. Methylation and acetylation of lysyl residues are among the most frequently described modifications in these proteins. Whereas these modifications have been studied in detail, very little is known about a recently discovered chemical modification, the N(epsilon)-lysine ...
متن کاملHistones with High L¥sine Content by M. M. Daly and A. E. Mirsky
This paper deals with some basic proteins of cell nuclei which differ in a number of ways from the classical histones of Kossel. Two characteristics of a histone noted by Kossel are its high arginine content and its way of being precipitated on addition of an excess of ammonium hydroxide (1-2). A high arginine content would tend to give a protein a basic isoelectric point and precipitability in...
متن کاملRecognition and Classification of Histones Using Support Vector Machine
Histones are DNA-binding proteins found in the chromatin of all eukaryotic cells. They are highly conserved and can be grouped into five major classes: H1/H5, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 bind to about 160 base pairs of DNA forming the core of the nucleosome (the repeating structure of chromatin) and H1/H5 bind to its DNA linker sequence. Overall, histones have a hig...
متن کاملHistones of Genetically Active and Inactive Chromatin
It has frequently been proposed that a variation in the relative content of lysine-rich, moderately lysine-rich, and arginine-rich histones might provide a mechanism by which specific portions of the genome may be genetically regulated. This possibility was investigated by comparing the electrophoretic pattern of these three fractions in cells differing markedly in their content of genetically ...
