Abstract

H3.3 is a replacement histone subtype that is encoded by two replication-independent genes termed H3.3A and H3.3B, respectively. We have isolated a fullsize H3.3 cDNA clone from an oligo(dT)-primed human testicular cDNA library. Subsequently, the corresponding gene was isolated from a human cosmid library and was identified as the H3.3B gene. It was the only histone gene on this 42-kb cosmid clone. The gene structure shows characteristic features of an H3.3 gene. First, it contains an intron of about 0.5 kb in the 5' untranslated region and two smaller introns within the coding gene portion. Second, no histone gene-specific dyad symmetry element was found in the 3' untranslated region, but three putative polyadenylation signals were detected downstream of the gene. The corresponding transcripts were detected by Northern blot analysis using poly(A)+ RNA from testis and from the HEK293 tumor cell line. The newly discovered human H3.3B gene (HGMW-approved symbol H3F3B) was mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization to the telomeric region of chromosome 17 (17q25). This localization of the H3.3B gene and its solitary arrangement contrast with the majority of the replication-dependent histone genes, which form a large cluster on c...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
