It is shown that the nucleotide biosynthetic enzyme phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 participates in early histone maturation, highlighting a direct molecular link between metabolic state and chromatin assembly.

Abstract

Metabolic enzymes are emerging as key regulators of nuclear processes. A recent study by Srivastava et al. shows that the nucleotide biosynthetic enzyme phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 participates in early histone maturation, highlighting a direct molecular link between metabolic state and chromatin assembly.
