Descriptor English: Histone Code
Descriptor Spanish: Código de Histonas
Descriptor código de las histonas
Scope note: Patrones específicos de modificación de las HISTONAS, que intervienen en el ensamblaje, el mantenimiento y la modificación de los estados estructurales de la cromatina (como la EUCROMATINA y la HETEROCROMATINA). Estas modificaciones se realizan mediante distintos procesos de modificación de las histonas, como la ACETILACIÓN, la METILACIÓN, la FOSFORILACIÓN y la UBIQUITINACIÓN.

Scope note: The specific patterns of changes made to HISTONES, that are involved in assembly, maintenance, and alteration of chromatin structural states (such as EUCHROMATIN and HETEROCHROMATIN). The changes are made by various histone modification processes that include ACETYLATION; METHYLATION; PHOSPHORYLATION; and UBIQUITINATION.
