Intruduction: | Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. The protein products of the H2AFY gene, known as macroH2As, are histone variants that contain nonhistone regions. H2AFY is associated with, but not required for, X-chromosome inactivation. Recent data indicated that H2AFY levels climb in both human and mutant huntingtin (htt) transgenic mouse blood and striatum before the onset of histological damage and, at least early in the disease, H2AFY levels are reported to change in proportion to disease severity. Full length human H2AFY gene (derived from BC095406) was constructed with N-terminal T7/His/TEV cleavage site 29aa Tag. This protein was expressed in E. coli as inclusion bodies, refolded using our unique “temperature shift inclusion body refolding” technology and chromatographically purified. |
