Phosphorylated serine 28 of histone H3 is associated with destabilized nucleosomes in transcribed chromatin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Histone modifications and variants have key roles in the activation and silencing of genes. Phosphorylation of histone H3 at serine 10 and serine 28 is involved in transcriptional activation of genes responding to stress or mitogen-stimulated signaling pathways. The distribution of H3-modified isoforms in G0 phase chicken erythrocyte chromatin was investigated. H3 phosphorylated at serine 28 was found highly enriched in the active/competent gene fractions, as was H3 di- and trimethylated at lysine 4. The H3 variant H3.3 in this chromatin fraction was preferentially phosphorylated at serine 28. Conversely, H3 phosphorylated at serine 10 was present in all chromatin fractions, while H3 dimethylated at lysine 9 was associated with the chromatin-containing repressed genes. H3 phosphorylated at serine 28 was located at the promoter region of the transcriptionally active, but not competent, histone H5 and beta-globin genes. We provide evidence that H3.3 phosphorylated at serine 28 was present in labile nucleosomes. We propose that destabilized nucleosomes containing H3.3 phosphorylated at serine 28 aid in the dynamic disassembly-assembly of nucleosomes in active promoters.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
