The Histone Code of Toxoplasma gondii Comprises Conserved and Unique Posttranslational Modifications
11 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Epigenetic gene regulation has emerged as a major mechanism for gene regulation in all eukaryotes. Histones are small, basic proteins that constitute the major protein component of chromatin, and posttranslational modifications (PTM) of histones are essential for epigenetic gene regulation. The different combinations of histone PTM form the histone code for an organism, marking functional units of...
