Abstract excerpt
Serine 31 is a phospho-site unique to the histone H3.3 variant; mitotic phospho-Ser31 is restricted to pericentromeric heterochromatin, and disruption of phospho-Ser31 results in chromosome segregation defects and loss of p53-dependant G1 cell-cycle arrest.1,2,3,4 Ser31 is proximal to the H3.3 lysine 27-to-methionine (K27M) mutation that drives ∼80% of pediatric diffuse midline gliomas.5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 Here, we...
