Histones are a family of basic proteins that associate with DNA in the nucleus and help condense it into chromatin. Nuclear DNA does not appear in free linear strands; it is highly condensed and ...

Warnecke wasn’t the first to look for histone in prokaryotes, but such searches, which tend to use eukaryotic histones as references, have only yielded a few potential candidates. That may be because ...

The finding, published Dec. 20 in Plant Cell, was co-authored by Cornell researchers and colleagues from the University of California, Davis, and Shandong Agricultural University in Shandong ...

Cell proteins called linker histones were discovered in the late 1800s. They have been known to influence genetic expression by, for example, providing structure, organization and folding of DNA ...

The mechanism of a peculiar type of heterochromatin, used by embryonic stem cells to silence 'parasitic' DNA-elements within the context of their highly dynamic pluripotent chromatin. Disclaimer ...

The lab further learned that the enzyme responsible for modifying histones with serotonin and dopamine is transglutaminase 2 (TG2). In their latest study, researchers from the Nash Family ...
