Journal ArticleDOI

Central role of Drosophila SU(VAR)3-9 in histone H3-K9 methylation and heterochromatic gene silencing.

TL;DR: A central role for the SU(VAR)3–9 HMTase in heterochromatin‐induced gene silencing in Drosophila is indicated and the human SUV39H1 gene is able to partially rescue Su(var)3-9 silencing defects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pivotal role of AtSUVH2 in heterochromatic histone methylation and gene silencing in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, SUVH2 with its histone H3K9 and H4K20 methylation activity has a central role in heterochromatic gene silencing and displays strong dosage‐dependent effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic programming via histone methylation at WRKY53 controls leaf senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: It is shown that these processes include discrete changes of epigenetic indexing, as well as global alterations in chromatin organization, which suggest that complex epigenetic processes control the senescence-specific gene expression pattern.
