Modification of histone tails, by acetylation, methylation or phosphorylation, affects the local chromatin structure and the transcriptional regulation of adjacent genes.Pericentric heterochromatin ...

Posttranslational modifications on histone proteins play a role in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. Now another so-called histone mark can be added to the list: lysine benzoylation.

Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that enables fine-tuning of gene expression. Mutation or dysregulation of proteins associated with histone modification (called “writers,” “erasers,” ...
