As well as being essential in the precise packaging of DNA into the space of the nucleus, histone proteins are also the site ...

The beads are called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is made of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins that function like a spool and are called a histone octamer. Each histone octamer is composed ...

The research could contribute to the development of more effective anti-aging treatments in the future. The body's aging ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests.

Learn about our Editorial Policies. Now, Warnecke and colleagues are challenging the idea that these space-saving proteins are not commonplace in bacteria. In a preprint uploaded to bioRxiv this ...

Chromatin, the mix of DNA and protein that houses each cell's genome, is more resilient to aging than previously thought, suggests a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society by ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

Dr. Luis Guerra, King's College London Proteins, much like the rest of the body, change when aging. This is especially the case for the histone proteins that make up chromatin, which may "live ...

Epigenetic regulation relies on the dynamic modification of the two building blocks of chromatin: DNA and histone packaging proteins, to establish and maintain cell identity and fate. We develop and ...

Some DNA viruses use cellular histone proteins to compact their genomes whereas others use small basic molecules. Adenoviruses encode their own histone-like protein, called protein VII, that forms a ...

Our group retains an interest in the areas of structure-function studies of RNA interference mediated by siRNA pathway, and on post-translation histone and DNA modifications impacting on epigenetic ...
