Histones: at the crossroads of peptide and protein chemistry

MM Müller, TW Muir - Chemical reviews, 2015 - ACS Publications
1. INTRODUCTION In eukaryotic cells, inheritable information is stored in a nucleoprotein
complex referred to as chromatin. 1 This genome architecture serves two key purposes. On …

Combinations of histone post-translational modifications

BC Taylor, NL Young - Biochemical Journal, 2021 - portlandpress.com

state of nucleosomes, chromatin, and chromosomes. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) …

[HTML][HTML] Deciphering post-translational modification codes

AP Lothrop, MP Torres, SM Fuchs - FEBS letters, 2013 - Elsevier
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) occur on nearly all proteins. Many domains within
proteins are modified on multiple amino acid sidechains by diverse enzymes to create a …

Histone H4 deacetylation facilitates 53BP1 DNA damage signaling and double-strand break repair

KY Hsiao, CA Mizzen - Journal of molecular cell biology, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Abstract 53BP1 and other DNA damage response (DDR) proteins form foci at double-strand
breaks (DSBs) which promote their repair by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). Focal …

Plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers of CHD4 are histone H3-binding modules with preference for unmodified H3K4 and methylated H3K9

RE Mansfield, CA Musselman, AH Kwan… - Journal of Biological …, 2011 - ASBMB
A major challenge in chromatin biology is to understand the mechanisms by which
chromatin is remodeled into active or inactive states as required during development and …

CA Musselman, RE Mansfield, AL Garske… - Biochemical …, 2009 - portlandpress.com
CHD4 (chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4) ATPase is a major subunit of the
repressive NuRD (nucleosome remodelling and deacetylase) complex, which is involved in …

The significance, development and progress of high-throughput combinatorial histone code analysis

NL Young, PA DiMaggio, BA Garcia - Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2010 - Springer
The physiological state of eukaryotic DNA is chromatin. Nucleosomes, which consist of DNA
in complex with histones, are the fundamental unit of chromatin. The post-translational …
