Implications of canonical histone H3.1 and histone variant H3.3 in cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Histones are the fundamental building blocks of chromatin and serve as pivotal regulators of gene expression. Differential expression and mutations of H3.1 and H3.3 genes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various cancer types. Mutations in H3.3, especially lysine to methionine substitutions (K27M/K36M), are particularly prevalent. Moreover, genetic alterations such as G34R/W/V/L, as well as variations...
