Transcriptomic analysis of the effect of histone H4 K31R mutation in U2OS cells

To explore the genome-wide gene expression changes induced by the K31R mutation in the histone H4 protein, we performed RNA-sequencing analysis in U2OS cells expressing either wildtype H4 or K31R mutant H4. We found that the lysine (K) to arginine (R) mutation mainly affected oxidative phosphorylation, mtiochondria dysfunction and et al, but not DNA damage signaling pathways. Overall design: Total RNAs were extracted from 3 wild-type (WT) H4 and 3 K31R mutant H4 expressing U2OS cells and profiled by RNA-sequencing.
