The chain of nucleosomes is then wrapped into a 30 nm spiral called a solenoid, where additional H1 histone proteins are associated with each nucleosome to maintain the chromosome structure.

The research could contribute to the development of more effective anti-aging treatments in the future. The body's aging ...

Some of the modifiers of variegation — for example, heterochromatin protein 1 ... occupancy or histone variants. PCNA is a homotrimer that forms a ring-shaped structure that slides along ...

As well as being essential in the precise packaging of DNA into the space of the nucleus, histone proteins are also the site ...

With this strategy, he discovered over 400 bacterial proteins that contain a signature 3D histone structure called a histone fold, suggesting histones could be scattered across many bacterial species.

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

They have been known to influence genetic expression by, for example, providing structure ... similar to a gene known to create a linker histone protein in Arabidopsis, a plant in the mustard ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests.
