Base J, β-D-glucosyl-hydroxymethyluracil, is an epigenetic modification of thymine in the nuclear DNA of flagellated protozoa of the order Kinetoplastida. J is enriched at sites involved in RNA Polymerase (RNAP) II initiation and termination. We have previously demonstrated a role of J in regulating...
ORGANISM(S): Trypanosoma brucei 
Base J and H3.V promote RNA Polymerase (RNAP) II termination within polycistronic gene clusters in the kinetoplastid species Trypanosoma brucei. Although base J has been shown to promote RNAP II termination in the related kinetoplastid species Leishmania major and Leishmania tarentolae, the role of ...
ORGANISM(S): Leishmania major 
Histone variant 3 (H3V) is a kinetoplastid specific histone variant that is enriched at RNA polymerase II termination sites and telomeres. We previously found that the DNA modification base J, which co-localizes with H3V, functions to prevent readthrough transcription within gene clusters in T. bruc...
