histone
Term: histone
Literally meaning : portion of a warp
Origin: Anc Greek
????? / histos(=warp, web) > ??????/istimi(=stand, inhibit)
????/-one(=suffix denoting a "weaker" derivative) eg histone,
Coined/History
In 1874 Friedrich Miescher?s demonstating the existence of the alkali-labile and acid-insoluble material that he termed ?nuclein? later identified DNA. Histones were discovered in 1884 by Albrecht Kossel who coined the term ?histon? when he isolated acid-soluble proteins from bird erythrocyte nuclei.
Definition
Histones are five types proteins around which DNA playing a dominant role in regulating eukaryotic transcription.
