Histone deacetylation and other modifications, particularly the methylation of lysine 9 within histone H3 (H3-K9) residues located in the histone tails, cause chromatin condensation and block ...
Modification of histone tails, by acetylation, methylation or phosphorylation, affects the local chromatin structure and the transcriptional regulation of adjacent genes. Pericentric heterochromatin ...
Illustration of H2B or H3 tail-less nucleosomes. Nucleosomes lacking H2B and H3 tails exhibit weakened interactions between histone tails and nucleosomal DNA, leading to less stable nucleosome ...
Strands of DNA wrapped around a histone. Credit: Molekuul/Science Source Histones are among the most abundant proteins in the body. They act as spools that help compact DNA so our enormous genomes ...
Computer simulations visualize in atomic detail how DNA opens while wrapped around proteins. Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht (The Netherlands) and the Max Planck Institute for ...
Modifications of the chromatin are crucial for the regulation of nearly all DNA-templated biological processes. Single-cell chromatin modification profiling can be used to assess chromatin ...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is a highly virulent virus. Evidence suggests that disruption of host ...
