Characterizing the regulatory effects of H2A.Z and SWR1-C on gene expression during hydroxyurea exposure in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. by Hilary T Brewis, Peter C Stirling, Michael S Kobor

“…Chromatin structure and DNA accessibility are partly modulated by the incorporation of histone variants. H2A.Z, encoded by the non-essential HTZ1 gene in S. cerevisiae, is an evolutionarily conserved H2A histone variant that is predominantly incorporated at transcription start sites by the SWR1-complex (SWR1-C). …”

Characterization of the Cannabis sativa glandular trichome epigenome by Lee J. Conneely, Bhavna Hurgobin, Sophia Ng, Muluneh Tamiru-Oli, Mathew G. Lewsey

“…To address this lack of epigenomic data, we mapped H3K4 trimethylation, H3K56 acetylation, H3K27 trimethylation post-translational modifications and the histone variant H2A.Z, using chromatin immunoprecipitation, in C. sativa glandular trichomes, leaf, and stem tissues. …”

H2AX Phosphorylation: Its Role in DNA Damage Response and Cancer Therapy by Monika Podhorecka, Andrzej Skladanowski, Przemyslaw Bozko

“…The formation of DSBs triggers activation of many factors, including phosphorylation of the histone variant H2AX, producing γH2AX. Phosphorylation of H2AX plays a key role in DDR and is required for the assembly of DNA repair proteins at the sites containing damaged chromatin as well as for activation of checkpoints proteins which arrest the cell cycle progression. …”

The role of aTp-dependent chromatin remodeling factors in chromatin assembly in vivo by Iu. A. Il’ina, A. Yu. Konev

“…During male pronucleus reorganization after fertilization CHD1 has a critical role in the genomescale, replication-independent nucleosome assembly involving the histone variant H3.3. Thus, the molecular motor proteins, such as CHD1, function not only in the remodeling of existing nucleosomes but also in de novo nucleosome assembly from DNA and histones in vivo. …”

Acute Genetic Damage Induced by Ethanol and Corticosterone Seems to Modulate Hippocampal Astrocyte Signaling by Ana Laura Reyes-Ábalos, Magdalena Álvarez-Zabaleta, Silvia Olivera-Bravo, María Vittoria Di Tomaso

“…Genetic damage and initial DDR were assessed by immunolabeling against the phosphorylated histone variant H2AX (γH2AX), DDR-dependent apoptosis by BAX immunoreactivity, and astrocyte activation by the glial acidic fibrillary protein (GFAP) and phalloidin staining. …”
