Molecular characterization and modulated expression of histone acetyltransferases during cold response of the tick Dermacentor silvarum (Acari: Ixodidae)

Tingwei Pei,

et al.

Abstract: Background Histone acetylation is involved in the regulation of stress responses in multiple organisms. Dermacentor silvarum is an important vector tick species widely distributed in China, and low temperature is a crucial factor restricting the development of its population. However, knowledge of the histone acetyltransferases and epigenetic mechanisms underlying cold-stress responses in this tick species is limited. Methods Histone acetyltransfer… Show more

“…Histone modifications and histone-modifying enzymes play pivotal roles in the regulation of transcription, which is highly dynamic in response to stress [ 31 ]. Several HAT genes have been cloned from species of ticks, including D. silvarum , Ixodes scapularis, and Amblyomma maculatum [ 32 34 ]. However, these genes belong to different gene families, and the functions in response to various environmental stresses of the histone-modifying enzymes that they encode are unclear.…”

“…HAT-B is the only known member of the type B histone acetyltransferases that exhibits specificity toward free H4 [ 40 ]. Three HATs, DsCREBBP , DsKAT6B and DsKAT5 , which belong to the p300/CBP (KAT protein family) have been characterized in D. silvarum [ 34 ]. Different expression patterns have been found for distinct categories of HAT genes in response to cold stress in ticks.…”
