Research Abstract |
The histone deposition into chromatin is an important phenomenon for DNA synthesis and cell proliferation, which is regulated by numerous cellular factors including histone chaperones. We analyzed the unknown mechanistic basis of histone gene translational regulation and chaperoning. When cells were treated with inhibitors or siRNA toward a protein kinase CK2, we observed retarded progression of the cell cycle, lowered expression of histone proteins, and reduced association with chaperon proteins. These imply an involvement of protein kinase for histone deposition onto a newly synthesized DNA and nucleosome formation during the progression of cell cycle.
