Yupeng Zheng, a graduate student in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, and Jennifer Schultz-Norton, a post-doctoral worker in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology, were two of the authors in a paper published by the Journal of Cell Biology.
Working in the lab of Assistant Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology Craig Mizzen, Yupeng Zheng, a graduate student in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, was the lead author of "Histone H1 phosphorylation is associated with transcription by RNA polymerases I and II," a paper published by the highly rated Journal of Cell Biology (189:3). Jennifer Schultz-Norton — a post-doctoral worker in the lab of Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology Ann Nardulli — is another of the authors cited.
According to Professor Mizzen, "The paper describes our discovery that specific sites on histone H1 proteins are phosphorylated in chromatin undergoing transcription by RNA polymerases I and II. The lead author is a grad student from my lab, and we collaborated with three other labs (two from the University of Illinois, one from National Cancer Institute) to do the work."
