About: H3K56ac

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

H3K56ac is an epigenetic modification to the DNA packaging protein Histone H3. It is a mark that indicates the acetylation at the 56th lysine residue of the histone H3 protein. It is a covalent modification known as a mark of newly replicated chromatin as well as replication-independent histone replacement. H3K56ac is important for chromatin remodeling and serves as a marker of new nucleosomes during DNA replication but its role in the cell cycle is debated.

  • H3K56ac is an epigenetic modification to the DNA packaging protein Histone H3. It is a mark that indicates the acetylation at the 56th lysine residue of the histone H3 protein. It is a covalent modification known as a mark of newly replicated chromatin as well as replication-independent histone replacement. H3K56ac is important for chromatin remodeling and serves as a marker of new nucleosomes during DNA replication but its role in the cell cycle is debated. Lysine 56 is located at the amino-terminal αN-helix and close to the site where the DNA enters and exits the nucleosome. The studies on yeast might not apply to the mammals. Mammalian cells do not express HATs with high specificity to K56. Sirtuins can catalyze the removal of the acetyl group from K56 H3K56ac levels are elevated in cancer and pluripotent cells. reads unmodified and H3K56ac to respond to DNA damage. (en)
