General description

Histones are highly conserved proteins that serve as the structural scaffold for the organization of nuclear DNA into chromatin. Histones are modified post-translationally by acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination and these modifications regulate DNA transcription, repair, recombination, and replication. Ubiquitylation usually targets the substrate for degradation, although histones H2A and H2B are actually stabilized by a single ubiquitin conjugation. Histone ubiquitination has been correlated with DNA repair and transcription, cellular differentiation, cell cycle regulation, spermatogenesis, protein trafficking, and response to stress. Histone H2A is monoubiquitinated at Lys119 by the PRC-1L complex (Polycomb repressive complex 1-like), which includes Ring1, Ring2, Bmi1 and HPH2. Ubiquitinated H2A normally represents about 15% of H2A, but this value can be as high as 50% in active chromatin. Ubiquitinyl histone H2A has also been associated with transcriptional silencing of large chromatin regions and linked to Polycomb silencing so the function of ubiquitinated H2A remains undefined.

Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 42 (USP42) is a deubiquitylating enzyme that can target p53 and contribute to the stabilization of p53 in response to stress. We now show that USP42 can also regulate transcription independently of p53. USP42 co-localized with RNA polymerase

Covalent modifications of histones, such as acetylation, methylation and ubiquitination, are central for regulation of gene expression. Heterochromatic gene silencing, for example, is associated with hypoacetylation, methylation and demethylation, and deubiquitination of specific amino acid residues in histone molecules. Many
