High impact information on Hist4

We show that other heterochromatic marks, such as histone 3 Lys 9 (H3K9) and histone 4 Lys 20 (H4K20) trimethylation, remain at both subtelomeric and telomeric regions in these cells [1].
We found a greatly reduced histone 3 and histone 4 acetylation level in IL-7Ralpha(-/-) thymocytes in comparison with RAG(-/-) thymocytes or fetal thymocytes [2].
Mouse L cells were treated with either tetranitromethane (TNM) or ultraviolet (uv) light at 280 nm in order to induce the cross-linking of histone 2B in their chromatin to either histone 4 or 2A [3].
