Transcription Recovery after DNA Damage Requires Chromatin Priming by the H3.3 Histone Chaperone HIRA
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867413010234
A cell paper published by S. Adam, S.E. Polo and G. Almouzni in 2013 (Cell 155, 94–106. Doi :10.1016/j.cell.2013.08.029)
How transcription restarts in chromatin regions that have been silenced in response to DNA damage remains poorly understood. Here, they show in human cells that the histone chaperone HIRA deposits newly synthesized H3.3 histones at sites of UVC irradiation in a manner coupled to early ubiquitylation events associated with DNA damage detection. This early and transient function of HIRA is required for transcription reactivation once repair is complete and thus, they propose that HIRA-mediated histone deposition can act as a chromatin bookmarking system for transcription recovery after genotoxic stress.

To know more about the developmental roles of histone H3 variants and their chaperones, take a look at this new review by D. Filipescu, E. Szenker and G. Almouzni: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952513000917
You will learn:
- How nuclear reprogramming involves a genome-wide deposition of H3.3 during development.
- Why the incorporation of H3.3 is critical to sustain several differentiation programs.
- That the propagation of CenH3 at centromeres through the cell cycle proceeds with different dynamics during development.

A strange thing has happened to scientists: increasingly, articles assure us, we are ‘cool’. Perhaps it is the rise of Silicon Valley and of a generation of telegenic science presenters that is making the scientist and researcher start to seem like a bit of a rock star or even (dare I say it) a famo...
