Are Histone acts as a key for male
Fertility?
Histone
Histones have
emerged as key players in the regulation of gene expression. However, that PTMs
can directly impact chromatin it has been suggested that PTMs of core histones
(H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) have the potential to govern chromatin function
according to the so-called “histone code” hypothesis by recruiting specific
binding proteins.
combinations
of histone marks at promoters and enhancers correlate with the developmental
potential and fate of cells.10,11 In undifferentiated embryonic stem cells
(ESCs), pluripotency maintenance genes (e.g., Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2) are marked
with high levels of H3K4 methylation at their transcriptional start sites.
Research
Histones are
basic proteins that confer order and structure to DNA and it plays an important
role in gene regulation and earlier Researchers have identified that histone
BigH1 acts as a key protein in stem cell differentiation to male sex cells.
Role of histone H1 in male infertility
All animals
contain the histone that is specific to the germline. In Drosophila, BigH1 is
stated as male and female germ lines and histone BigH1 shows most difference to
the germline variant of human females as well as some similarities to variants
of the male germ line
Histones as
regulators in stem cell differentiation into tissue cells
Histones play
an important role in differentiation of stem cells including all the cells of
an organism like skin, intestinal, lung, and any other type. Whereas during the
differentiation of female sex cells from the BigH1, we know that histone is
most essential, but we assume it will have a distinct role since the process
involving female sex cells is considerably different to that of male ones.
