Biochem/physiol Actions

Histones have an important role in the organization and modification of chromatin. Histone cluster 1 H3 family member E (HIST1H3E) has a role in DNA synthesis during DNA replication and might also be involved in DNA repair. It is deposited at the chromatin at the time of DNA replication-associated chromatin assembly. During herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection, differential movement of HIST1H3E is associated with the assembly of viral chromatin.

General description

Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) acts on mono- and dimethylated histones and demethylates them. It has a role in embryogenesis, cell proliferation, spermatogenesis, adipogenesis and chromosomal segregation. Histone H3 peptide methylated at Lysine 4 is a substrate for LSD1. Histone cluster 1 H3 family member E (HIST1H3E) is a variant of histone 3 and is also called as the replicative histone. It is mainly expressed in the S-phase of the cell cycle. The gene encoding this protein is localized on human chromosome 6p22.
