"Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) are involved in diverse biological processes and methylation was regarded as a long-term epigenetic mark. Though aging represented one of the major risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases, no systematic investigations had correlated the patterns of histone PTMs in the brain with aging and the roles of such concerted histone PTMs in brain aging are still unknown," scientists in Hong Kong, People's Republic of China report.
"In this study, enzyme digestion, nano-LC, MALDI-TOF/TOF MS analysis and Western blotting were combined to investigate the defined methylation of core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) in the brain of...
