The H2A.J histone variant contributes to Interferon-Stimulated Gene expression in senescence by its weak interaction with H1 and the derepression of repeated DNA sequences
2020-10-30
Abstract excerpt
The histone variant H2A.J was previously shown to accumulate in senescent human fibroblasts with persistent DNA damage to promote inflammatory gene expression, but its mechanism of action was unknown. We show that H2A.J accumulation contributes to weakening the association of histone H1 to chromatin and increasing its turnover. Decreased H1 in senescence is correlated with increased expression of some repeated DNA...
