2005). Histone sequences are highly conserved. The diagram in Figure 2 shows a typical chromatin fiber, with the blue cylinders representing histones. Extending from each of the histones is a ...

This experiment demonstrated that H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 form a discrete protein octamer, which is fully consistent with the presence of a repeating histone-containing unit in the chromatin fiber.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like propionate and butyrate are critical byproducts of dietary fiber digestion. These molecules do more than fuel the body—they directly influence gene expression and ...

These modifications correlate with metabolic states, impacting chromatin accessibility and transcription. SCFAs, such as propionate and butyrate, derived from dietary fiber metabolism, serve as ...
