Webb24 maj 2024 · In Drosophila melanogaster, germline expression of the Wolbachia proteins CifA and CifB causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, but how this impairs male reproduction remains unclear. This study shows how Cif proteins encoded by the endosymbiont prophage invade the fly’s gametic nuclei and modify the histone-protamine transition … WebbIn summary, a novel hypothesis for gradual histone-to-protamine transition in sperm maturation was proposed. We believe that histones may contribute structural …

Webb28 feb. 2024 · Histone-to-protamine transition takes place in spermatids and is indispensable for the production of functional sperm. Here we show that the H3K79-methyltransferase DOT1L controls spermatid chromatin remodelling and subsequent reorganization and compaction of spermatozoon genome. Webb5 dec. 2024 · 35 histone-ubiquitin ligase RNF8 was reported to be required for genome-wide histone acetylation and 36 subsequent histone-to-protamine exchange based on the absence, genome-wide, of histone acetylation, and 37 of two protamine proteins, PRM1 and PRM2 in Rnf8-deficient (KO) mice (Lu et al., 2010). pob surveying

Webb30 juli 2014 · During this histone-to-protamine switch, transition proteins are expressed, for example TNP1 and TNP2 in mammals and Tpl94D in Drosophila. Recently, we … Webb1 mars 2014 · Sperm of mammals and Drosophila contain mainly protamine-based chromatin. • Multiple histone variants and histone modifications precede histone degradation. • Bromodomain proteins are proposed to function as readers of histone modifications. • CAF1 can act as a protamine chaperone. • We present a model of … Webb1 maj 2007 · In higher organisms, the chromatin of sperm is organised in a highly condensed protamine-based structure. In pre-meiotic stages and shortly after meiosis, histones carry multiple modifications. Here, we focus on post-meiotic stages and show that also after meiosis, histone H3 shows a high overall methylation of K9 and K27 and … pob survey terms
