…DNA-protein interactions and altering the transcriptome.” While the study did not indicate what amount of alcohol is safe for rodents, it did point out that low doses of alcohol can…
…to display increased repressive marks (H3K9me3, H3K27me3) and decreased active marks (H3K9ac) within their H3 ARKS motifs, which correlated with a heterochromatic remodeling of the host DNA and a lower…
…of Yin Yang1. Histone acetylation is a mechanism that adds acetyl groups to lysine residues found on the DNA, which loosens the chromatin, leaving it accessible for transcription to turn…
…thus affecting gene expression without changing the genetic sequence itself. In turn, miRNA expression itself can be regulated epigenetically, such as through DNA methylation and histone modification. microRNA-137 (miR-137) is known…
…deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) – an epigenetic enzyme critical for anti-inflammatory activity. HDACs act as epigenetic erasers that remove the acetyl group from histone proteins on DNA. They influence the structure…
…the F1 and F2 generations to acetophenone was complemented by an enhanced neuroanatomical representation of the Olfr151 pathway. Bisulfite sequencing of sperm DNA from conditioned F0 males and F1 naive…
…histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9). This particular mark is known to lead to transcriptionally active chromatin, impacting gene expression, DNA repair, and cell differentiation and proliferation, among other cellular processes….
…by the enzyme USP22. Previous articles have discussed the role of histone modifications in the blood and how these proteins can affect DNA structure and thus gene expression. Like other…
