An international group of scientists has identified a key molecular process that drives a deadly form of childhood brain ...

This article delves into the hypothesized mechanisms of Vilon and its prospective roles in various research domains.

This article was reviewed by Craig Primack, MD, FACP, FAAP, FOMA. Protein is a powerful macronutrient. It’s a building block for cells, and when it comes to weight loss, protein can help control ...

Thus, though the full complement of DNA within a brain cell and a liver cell is the same, the two cells have different histone modifications and other regulatory proteins, allowing the expression ...

This modification, outlined in a paper published in Neuron, is the mono-methylation (the addition of a methyl group) of the 27th lysine amino acid in the histone H3 protein, also referred to as ...

Here we show that budding yeast achieves histone homeostasis in different nutrients through a decoupling of transcript and protein abundance. We find that cells downregulate histone transcripts in ...

The histone proteins of complex cells are named H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. They are assembled into groups of eight, around which a length of DNA is wrapped. This structure, called a nucleosome ...

In a recent study, the question of histone inheritance was addressed by ... Mrc1 is part of a group of proteins called the fork protection complex (FPC), which is part of the replisome, a ...

Now researchers have uncovered the critical role of a linker histone protein, called H1, during plant immune responses to bacterial and fungal infections. “Previous studies on Arabidopsis plants ...

Researchers from the Professor Xiaoqi Feng group have shown how in flowering plants, sperm chromatin, a complex of DNA and proteins, is compacted by a special histone protein that spontaneously ...

Chromatin is organized into subunits called nucleosomes that are made up of small segments of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins: two copies of the protein H3 which each dimerize with an H4 ...

Take, for instance, the histones. The most ancient of these proteins, which form a scaffold around which our DNA is wrapped, arose billions of years ago and have changed little since. But some histone ...
