Researchers from Osaka University find that neuronal activity induces gene expression at the preprepared histone acetylation sites in the nucleus by influencing transcription factors and chromatin ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) arises from genetic and epigenetic alterations, including histone modifications. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic alterations are reversible, making them attractive ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

What is the histone code? Different chemical marks, such as acetylation, methylation, or phosphorylation, are made to numerous residues on the N-terminal tails of histone proteins. Some posit that ...

Before a newly synthesized protein can undergo folding, it must be processed and transported to the correct location within the cell after emerging from the ribosome. N-terminal acetylation ...
