Histones are among the most conserved proteins known, but organismal differences do exist. In this study we examined the contribution that divergent amino acids within histone H3 make to cell growth and chromatin structure in S. cerevisiae. We show that, while amino acids that define histone H3.3 ar...
Eukaryotes and prokaryotes encode proteins with the histone-fold domain, but only eukaryotes are known to encode "core histones" from four distinct families that heterodimerize selectively and uniquely to form nucleosome particles. Some large DNA viruses, including those in Marseilleviridae family e...
The aim of this study is to analyze the distribution of the modified histones in and around peri-centromeric heterochromatin at high resolutions for understanding the molecular nature of the heterochromatic genes and euchromatin-heterochromatin transition. Since heterochromatin is repeat-rich, strin...

Adhesion of T. cruzi trypomastigotes to components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important step in mammalian host cell invasion. We have recently described a significant increase in the tyrosine nitration levels of histones H2A and H4 when trypomastigotes are incubated with components of t...
