Acid-Labile Histone Phosphorylations
نویسنده
چکیده
Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into chromatin, folded and compacted. The building blocks of mammalian chromatin are nucleosomes, which consist of octomers of histone proteins that can be post-translationally modified (PTM). Protein phosphorylation is one of the most abundant PTMs. Histones are phosphorylated mainly on serine, threonine, tyrosine as well as other sites such as arginine, histidine and lysine that are not so well-known. Both types of protein phosphorylations occur in vivo at similar levels; however, phosphoarginine, phosphohistidine and phospholysine are thermodynamically unstable and therefore much less studied.

Phosphorylation of basic amino acid residues in proteins: important but easily missed.
Reversible phosphorylation is the most widespread posttranslational protein modification, playing regulatory role in almost every aspect of cell life. The majority of protein phosphorylation research has been focused on serine, threonine and tyrosine that form acid-stable phosphomonoesters. However, protein histidine, arginine and lysine residues also may undergo phosphorylation to yield acid-l...
متن کاملThe C-terminal domain is the primary determinant of histone H1 binding to chromatin in vivo.
We have used a combination of kinetic measurements and targeted mutations to show that the C-terminal domain is required for high-affinity binding of histone H1 to chromatin, and phosphorylations can disrupt binding by affecting the secondary structure of the C terminus. By measuring the fluorescence recovery after photo-bleaching profiles of green fluorescent protein-histone H1 proteins in liv...
متن کاملADP-ribosylation of histone H2B. Identification of glutamic acid residue 2 as the modification site.
The site of in vitro ADP-ribosylation of histone H2B was determined. From chromatin of rat liver incubated with [ribose(NMN)-14C]NAD (210 pCi), the histone H2B fraction was extracted with acid and purified by column chromatographies on Bio-Gel P-60 and Sephadex G-150. The final preparation (96 mg of protein), which consisted of ADP-[*4C]ribosylated (1.8 pCi) and nonADP-ribosylated histone H2B’s...
متن کاملMammalian Histidine Kinase and Phosphohistidine Detection
An increase in the incidence of histidine phosphorylation of histone H4 in mammalian cells appears to be causally associated with an increase in cellular proliferation (1). Although this and many other reports of histidine phosphorylation in mammalian cells are documented in the literature, little is understood about their biological roles by comparison to hydroxyaminoacid kinases. Many of the ...
متن کاملEvidence for erythrocyte-specific histone modification and structural changes in chromatin during goose erythrocyte maturation.
Regenerating blood of geese suffering from phenylhydrazine anaemia was separated into ' mature' and ' immature' cell populations by centrifugation through a barrier of BSA. Socalled 'mature cells' consisted of mainly mature erythrocytes and 'immature cells' included twothirds polychromatic and younger erythroblasts. Histone proteins, dissociated from isolated nuclei of both populations of cells...
