The assembly of nucleosomes by histone chaperones is an important component of transcriptional regulation. Here we have assessed the global roles of the S. pombe HIRA histone chaperone complex. Microarray analysis indicates that inactivation of the HIRA complex results in increased expression of at ...

Cells that have been pre-exposed to mild stress (priming stress) acquire transient resistance to subsequent severe stress even under different combinations of stresses. This phenomenon is called cross-tolerance. Although it has been reported that cross-tolerance occurs in many organisms, the molecul...

Nucleosome assembly in vivo requires assembly factors, such as histone chaperones, to bind to histones and mediate their deposition onto DNA. In yeast, the essential histone chaperone FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription) functions in nucleosome assembly and H2A-H2B deposition during transcript...

The evolutionarily conserved HIRA/Hir histone chaperone complex and ASF1/Asf1 co-chaperone cooperate for replication-independent chromatin assembly. Here we report the molecular architecture of the Hir complex with Asf1/H3/H4 via single-particle cryo-EM and crosslinking mass spectrometry.

Histones are the protein components of the basic unit of chromatin, the core particle of the nucleosome. They play a central role in defining chromatin states associated with distinct cell fates and are classified into replicative and non-replicative/replacement histone variants. While the latter do...

We report a genome wide enrichment, redistribution and accumulation of H2A.Z at specific chromatin control regions, in particular at enhancers and insulators, in mouse embryonic fibroblasts depleted for Anp32e (MEFs Anp32e-/-). H2A.Z ChIP-seq in MEFs WT (+/+) or KO (-/-) for Anp32e.

Dynamic modification of histone proteins plays a key role in regulating gene expression. However, histones themselves can also be dynamic, which potentially affects the stability of histone modifications. To determine the molecular mechanisms of histone turnover we developed a parallel screening met...

The CENP-T/-W histone fold complex, as an integral part of the inner kinetochore, is essential for building a proper kinetochore at the centromere in order to direct chromosome segregation during mitosis. Notably, CENP-T/-W is not inherited at centromeres and new deposition is absolutely required at...

Centromeres are essential to ensure proper chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. Their definition relies on the presence of a centromere-specific H3 histone variant CenH3, known as CENP-A in mammals. Its overexpression in aggressive cancers raises questions concerning its effect on chromatin dynamic...

We performed gene expression profiling by microarray using RNA extracted from healthy free wall left ventricle tissues from control and Hira cardiomyocyte-specific conditional knockout mice at 6 weeks of age. Hira is a histone chaperone responsible for replication-independent incorporation of histo...
