MMP-2 is a novel histone H3 N-terminal protease necessary for myogenic gene activation

Abstract Background Selective proteolysis of the histone H3 N-terminal tail (H3NT) is frequently observed during eukaryotic development, generating a cleaved histone H3 (H3cl) product within a small, but significant, portion of the genome. Although increasing evidence supports a regulatory role for...
