Phosphorylation of histones was observed at certain tyrosine residues which have not been associated with epigenetic modification. These sites include H2B Tyr37, H4 Tyr88 and Tyr 51 and H3 Tyr99. Kinases responsible for the phosphorylation as well as downstream genes regulated by such phosphorylation were also identified. Antibodies that are specific to such phosphorylated histones have been generated, which are useful for detecting the phosphorylation and related events. With such findings, the present disclosure provides compositions and methods for disease diagnosis, prognosis and therapy selection, in particular for cancer, obesity and diabetes.
观察到组蛋白在某些酪氨酸残基上的磷酸化,这些残基尚未与表观遗传修饰相关联。这些位点包括H2B Tyr37,H4 Tyr88和Tyr 51以及H3 Tyr99。负责磷酸化的激酶以及由此磷酸化调节的下游基因也已被确定。已生成特异性针对此类磷酸化组蛋白的抗体,可用于检测磷酸化及相关事件。凭借这些发现,本公开提供了用于疾病诊断、预后和治疗选择的组合物和方法,特别是用于癌症、肥胖症和糖尿病。
