In the second step, a G9a-associated complex coordinates histone deacetylation followed by local methylation of H3K9, thereby generating local heterochromatin. This change in chromatin structure ...

Thus, the 30-nanometer fiber may be highly irregular and not quite the uniform structure depicted in instructive drawings such as Figure 1 (Bednar et al., 1998). Interestingly, histone H1 is very ...

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.
