Histone deacetylase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Histone deacetylases (HDAC) (EC number 3.5.1) are a class of enzymes that remove acetyl groups from an ε-N-acetyl lysine amino acid on a histone. Its action is opposite to that of histone acetyltrans...

Histone octamer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A histone octamer is an octamer of the histones found at the center of a nucleosome core particle. It consists of 2 copies of each of the four core histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). The octame...

Histone proteins are essential for the packaging of DNA into chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell. They also control, in some degree, the expression of proteins from DNA. Histone proteins play an important role in DNA packaging, chromosome stabilization and gene expression.

Histones are the major structural proteins of chromosomes. The DNA molecule is wrapped twice around a Histone Octamer to make a Nucleosome. Six Nucleosomes are assembled into a Solenoid in association with H1 histones.

Histone Time Course ... We have used a glucose shut down system to stop Histone H4 transcription. Cells harboring a deletion of both Histone H4 genes (HHF1, HHF2) and a plasmid with the GAL promoter driving expression of Histone H4 (HHF2), were grown in YEP with 2% galactose.
