Target Background

Function
Histone H4 is a core component of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are responsible for wrapping and compacting DNA into chromatin, limiting the accessibility of DNA to cellular machinery that utilizes DNA as a template. Consequently, histones play a critical role in regulating transcription, DNA repair, DNA replication, and maintaining chromosomal stability. The accessibility of DNA is regulated through a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, known as the histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
Gene References Into Functions
  1. Studies have shown that PP32 and SET/TAF-Ibeta proteins inhibit HAT1-mediated H4 acetylation. PMID: 28977641
  2. Evidence suggests that post-translational modifications of histones, specifically trimethylation of lysine 36 in H3 (H3K36me3) and acetylation of lysine 16 in H4 (H4K16ac), play roles in DNA damage repair. H3K36me3 stimulates H4K16ac upon DNA double-strand break, and this epigenetic change requires the presence of SETD2, LEDGF, and KAT5 (SETD2 = SET domain containing 2; LEDGF = lens epithelium-derived growth factor; KAT5 = lysine acetyltransferase 5). PMID: 28546430
