Abstract

Histone variants are known to play a central role in genome regulation and maintenance. However, many variants are inaccessible by antibody-based methods or bottom-up tandem mass spectrometry due to their highly similar sequences. For many, the only tractable approach is with intact protein top-down tandem mass spectrometry. Here, ultra-high-resolution FT-ICR MS and MS/MS yield quantitative relative abundances of all detected HeLa H2A and H2B isobaric and isomeric variants with a label-free approach. We extend the analysis to identify and relatively quantitate 16 proteoforms from 12 sequence variants of histone H2A and 10 proteoforms of histone H2B from three other cell lines: human embryonic stem cells (WA09), U937, and a prostate cancer cell line LaZ. The top-down MS/MS approach provides a path forward for more extensive elucidation of the biological role of many previously unstudied histone variants and post-translational modifications.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In cancer epigenetics, there are several examples in which PTM crosstalk has been mapped definitively.

    “In cancer epigenetics, there are several examples in which PTM crosstalk has been mapped definitively (see also the top rows of Table 1) 22,45-49 .”

    From How many human proteoforms are there? (2018) · cites this paper as [46]

    The Results and Discussion section reports identifying and quantifying histone proteoforms in a prostate cancer cell line, but does not describe definitively mapped PTM crosstalk. Searches for “crosstalk” and for interactions or co-occurrence of modifications in cancer found no passage addressing that claim; the cited paper instead presents its method as a path toward further study.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
