Abstract:Histone post translational modifications (HPTM) such as methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination play a role in regulating many cell processes including cell cycling, transcription, and DNA damage repair. Regulation of such processes is achieved through the ability of HPTMs to 1) recruit activating and repressive complexes via 'effector' proteins and 2) alter chromatin structure through changing DNA, inter-, and intranucleosomal interactions. Many marks, when studied alone, can correlate w… Show more
