Abstract
Higher-order genomic organization supports the activation of histone genes in response to cell cycle regulatory cues that epigenetically mediates stringent control of transcription at the G1/S-phase transition. Histone locus bodies (HLBs) are dynamic, non-membranous, phase-separated nuclear domains where the regulatory machinery for histone gene expression is organized and assembled to support spatiotemporal epigenetic control of histone genes. HLBs provide molecular hubs that support synthesis and processing of DNA replication-dependent histone mRNAs. These regulatory microenvironments support long-range genomic interactions among non-contiguous histone genes within a single topologically associating domain (TAD). HLBs respond to activation of the cyclin E/CDK2/NPAT/HINFP pathway at the G1/S transition. HINFP and its coactivator NPAT form a complex within HLBs that controls histone mRNA transcription to support histone protein synthesis and packaging of newly replicated DNA. Loss of HINFP compromises H4 gene expression and chromatin formation, which may result in DNA damage and impede cell cycle progression. HLBs provide a paradigm for higher-order genomic organization of a subnuclear domain that executes an obligatory cell cycle-controlled function in response to cyclin E/CDK2 signaling. Understanding the coordinately and spatiotemporally organized regulatory programs in focally defined nuclear domains provides insight into molecular infrastructure for responsiveness to cell signaling pathways that mediate biological control of growth, differentiation phenotype, and are compromised in cancer.
期刊介绍:
Critical ReviewsTM in Eukaryotic Gene Expression presents timely concepts and experimental approaches that are contributing to rapid advances in our mechanistic understanding of gene regulation, organization, and structure within the contexts of biological control and the diagnosis/treatment of disease. The journal provides in-depth critical reviews, on well-defined topics of immediate interest, written by recognized specialists in the field. Extensive literature citations provide a comprehensive information resource.
Reviews are developed from an historical perspective and suggest directions that can be anticipated. Strengths as well as limitations of methodologies and experimental strategies are considered.
