Abstract excerpt
Holocarboxylase synthetase (HLCS) catalyzes the covalent binding of biotin to histones. Biotinylated histones are gene repression marks and are particularly enriched in long terminal repeats, telomeres, and other repeat regions. The effects of HLCS in gene regulation are mediated by its physical interactions with chromatin proteins such as histone H3, DNMT1, MeCP2, and EHMT-1. It appears that histone...
