Research Abstract

Cell differentiation in multicellular organisms is achieved by dynamic changes in gene expression pattern. Dysregulation of such processes can cause various diseases including cancers. Histone variant H3.3 plays an important role in epigenetic memory of active genes. In this study we mapped genome-wide distribution of H3.3 during macrophage differentiation. The results indicated that H3.3 may regulate several steps of transcription including elongation. We also identified H3.3K36 as an amino acid residue required for H3.3 incorporation into chromatin.
