SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCH:
Core histones of chromatin have long N-terminal extensions that have been known for decades to undergo extensive post-translational modifications. These post translational modifications have been suggested to be involved in the regulation of gene expressions, cell division, nucleosome assembly and DNA repair processes via alterations in the nucleosome architecture. Our laboratory is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms by which histone modifications regulate pancreatic beta cell and testicular Leydig cell functions with respect to insulin and steroidogenic enzymes gene expressions respectively.
