Histone core modifications regulating nucleosome structure and dynamics

Tessarz, Peter, Kouzarides, Tony·2014·Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Abstract

Post-translational modifications of histones regulate all DNA-templated processes, including replication, transcription and repair. These modifications function as platforms for the recruitment of specific effector proteins, such as transcriptional regulators or chromatin remodellers. Recent data suggest that histone modifications also have a direct effect on nucleosomal architecture. Acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation and citrullination of the histone core may influence chromatin structure by affecting histone-histone and histone-DNA interactions, as well as the binding of histones to chaperones.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Chromatin condensation status and existing chromatin dynamics influence both UV damage occurrence and repair capacity.

    “One of the critical factors that influence both damage occurrence and repair capacity is certainly the chromatin condensation status and existing chromatin dynamics.”
  • Methylation (mono-, di-, tri-) and acetylation are the most extensively studied histone modifications, although many more have been observed.

    “Methylation (mono-, di- and tri-) and acetylation are the most extensively studied modifications, although many more have been observed (Tessarz and Kouzarides, 2014).”

    From The Cellular and Molecular Landscapes of the Developing Human Central Nervous System (2016) · cites this paper as Tessarz and Kouzarides, 2014

  • Acetylation of histone tails alters chromatin dynamics and generally increases accessibility to transcription factors, leading to activation of gene transcription.

    “Acetylation of histone tails alters chromatin dynamics and generally increases accessibility to transcription factors, leading to activation of gene transcription (189) (Fig. 6).”

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.
