On pages 70–79 of this issue, Dhaenens et al. try to cast a new light onto the black box of 40 years of incoherent reports on histone proteolysis. The difficulties of specifying the in vivo versus in vitro origin of this post-translational modification, the fact that the same enzymes mediate both “histone degradation” and the epigenetically connoted “histone clipping”, and the complexity and redundancy of the histone code, all contribute to the surprising shortage of reports on the biology of this potentially far-reaching posttranslational modification.
