| Abstract |
RbAp46/48, histone chaperone, is a family of evolutionarily conserved WD40 repeat-containing proteins, which are involved in various chromatin-metabolizing processes, but their in vivo functional relevance is yet unclear. In order to examine the biological role of pRbAp48 in chicken DT40 cells, we generated a tetracycline-inducible system for conditional RbAp48-knockout cells. Depletion of RbAp48 led to delayed S phase progression associated with slow DNA synthesis and nascent nucleosome formation, followed by accumulation in G2/M phase, finally leading to cell death. Prior to cell death, these cells exhibited aberrant mitosis such as highly condensed and abnormal chromosome alignment on the metaphase plate, leading to chromosome missegregation. Depletion of RbAp48 also caused dissociation of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) from pericentromeric heterochromatin. Furthermore, depletion of RbAp48 from cells led to elevated levels of acetylation and slightly decreased levels of methylation, specifically at Lys-9 residue of histone H3. These results suggest that RbAp48 plays an important role in chromosome stability for proper organization of heterochromatin structure through the regulation of epigenetic mark. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 December 2015.
All research outputs
#15,351,847
of 22,835,198 outputs
Outputs from Chromosome Research
#347
of 508 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#228,893
of 390,233 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Chromosome Research
#5
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,835,198 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 508 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 390,233 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
