Brief description Histone H3.3-dependent transcriptional control and B cell differentiation. This project aims to investigate the fundamental way cells assemble transcriptional machinery to turn on genes and retain transcriptional memory. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of both chromatin biology and immunology, using interdisciplinary approaches. Expected outcomes of this project include an enhanced capacity, through institutional and international collaborations, to determine whether the rapid transcription and function characteristic of immune memory in response to stimuli is due to histone H3 variant and its associated nuclear bodies. This should provide significant benefits, such as understanding epigenetic mechanisms that underlie transcription initiation and maintenance across many species.
