Single-residue variation in the nucleosome core reveals a regulatory hub for phenotypic innovation

Zachary H. Harvey, Benjamin Gundinger, Jan Kok, Kathryn M Stevens, Tobias Warnecke, Frédéric Berger

The paper maps single-residue effects of H2A and H2A.Z nucleosome-core variations on cellular functions, revealing non-chromatin regulatory roles and stress-related benefits.

Single residue changes to the histone core catalyze neofunctionalization and impose fitness trade-offs

Zachary H. Harvey, Kathryn M Stevens, Jian Yi Kok, Akihisa Osakabe, Jiaying Liu, Tobias Warnecke, Frédéric Berger

This study shows that single residue changes in histone H2A.Z can lead to new functions and fitness trade-offs by altering gene expression.

Chromatinization of Escherichia coli with archaeal histones

Maria Rojec, Antoine Hocher, Kathryn M Stevens, Matthias Merkenschlager, Tobias Warnecke

This study expresses archaeal histones in E. coli to investigate chromatinization challenges, finding nucleosome occupancy correlates with transcriptional repression but minimal growth impact.
