Nucleosomal incorporation of specialized histone variants is an important mechanism to generate different functional chromatin states. Here we report the identification and characterization of two novel primate-specific histone H3 variants, H3.X and H3.Y. Their mRNAs are found in certain human cell ...

The mechanisms that recruit the major Polycomb-group (PcG) complexes PRC1 and PRC2 to target sites in vertebrate cells are not well understood. Building on recent studies that have determined a reciprocal relationship between DNA methylation and Polycomb activity, we demonstrate that in methylation ...

ISWI is an evolutionary conserved ATPase that catalyzes nucleosome remodeling in several different complexes. Two mammalian ISWI orthologs, SNF2H and SNF2L, have specialized functions despite their high similarity. Due to the lack of reagents the functions of SN2L in human cells had not been establi...
