Sequence conservation of linker histones between chicken and mammalian species
نویسندگان
چکیده
The percent identity matrices of two sequence multiple alignments between linker histones from chicken and mammalian species are described. Linker histone protein sequences for chicken, mouse, rat and humans, available on public databases were used. This information is related to the research article entitled "Identification of novel post-translational modifications in linker histones from chicken erythrocytes"published in the Journal of Proteomics [1].

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...
متن کاملRegulation of the higher-order structure of chromatin by histones H1 and H5
Chicken erythrocyte chromatins containing a single species of linker histone, H1 or H5, have been prepared, using reassembly techniques developed previously. The reconstituted complexes possess the conformation of native chicken erythrocyte chromatin, as judged by chemical and structural criteria; saturation is reached when two molecules of linker histone are bound per nucleosome, as in native ...
متن کاملIdentification and molecular cloning of functional chicken IL-12.
By a combination of large-scale sequencing, bioinformatics, and traditional molecular biology, we identified the long-searched-for cDNA sequences encoding the homologues of the chicken IL-12p35 and IL-12p40 chains. These molecules are the first discovered nonmammalian IL-12 subunits. The homologies of the chicken IL-12p35 and IL-12p40 proteins to the corresponding known subunits of various spec...
متن کاملDetection of gene expression and sequence analysis of chicken class II trans activator (CIITA)
BACKGROUND:Class II transactivator (CIITA) is a dominanttranscriptional element, controlling numerous genes in theimmune system. CIITA is expressed in a constitutive pattern inantigen presenting cells although its expression can occur inother cell types. Since the revelation of CIITA, there have beenconsiderable advances toward understanding its role as anactivator of MHC II genes in humans and...
متن کاملQualitative species differences and quantitative tissue differences in the distribution of lysine-rich histones.
Species-specific differences in the distribution of lysinerich histones were investigated in spleen tissue of three mammalian (calf, cat, and rat) and one avian (chicken) species. Tissue-specific differences in the distribution of the lysine-rich histones were studied in liver, kidney, spleen, and thymus tissues of the rat; liver, spleen, and thymus of the calf; and liver, spleen, and erythrocy...
