Deep conservation of histone variants in Thermococcales archaea

K. M. Stevens, A. Hocher, T. Warnecke

The paper investigates the conservation and evolution of histone variants in Thermococcales archaea, finding deep conservation of HTkA- and HTkB-like histones and suggesting convergent evolution with eukaryotes.

Growth temperature is the principal driver of chromatinization in archaea

A. Hocher, G. Borrel, K. Fadhlaoui, J.-F. Brugere, S. Gribaldo, T. Warnecke

This study identifies growth temperature as the main factor influencing chromatinization in archaea by analyzing NAP diversity and abundance across 19 species.

The silencing factor Sir3 is a molecular bridge that sticks together distant loci

M. Ruault, V. F. Scolari, L. Lazar-Stefanita, A. Hocher, I. Loiodice, C. Nous, R. Koszul, A. Taddei

This study shows Sir3 bridges distant genomic loci, promoting long-range contacts and rDNA compaction in yeast, independent of its known partners.

Histone variants in archaea and the evolution of combinatorial chromatin complexity

K. M. Stevens, J. B. Swadling, A. Hocher, C. Bang, S. Gribaldo, R. A. Schmitz, T. Warnecke

This study investigates archaeal histone paralogs, showing they can form hetero-oligomeric complexes with distinct properties and have evolved conserved functional roles, suggesting combinatorial chromatin complexity predates eukaryotes.

The DNA-binding protein HTa from Thermoplasma acidophilum is an archaeal histone analog

A. Hocher, M. Rojec, J. B. Swadling, A. Esin, T. Warnecke

The paper identifies HTa, a DNA-binding protein in Thermoplasma acidophilum, as an archaeal histone analog through chromatin architecture analysis.
