Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional repression by the methyl-CpG-binding protein MeCP2 involves a histone deacetylase complex

TL;DR: The data suggest that two global mechanisms of gene regulation, DNA methylation and histone deacetylation, can be linked by MeCP2, an abundant nuclear protein that is essential for mouse embryogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The histone modification pattern of active genes revealed through genome-wide chromatin analysis of a higher eukaryote

TL;DR: A genome-wide chromatin structure analysis in a higher eukaryote found a binary pattern of histone modifications among euchromatic genes, with active genes being hyperacetylated for H3 and H4 and hypermethylated at Lys 4 and Lys 79 of H3, and inactive genes being hypomethylated and deacetylation at the same residues.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inactive X chromosome in female mammals is distinguished by a lack of histone H4 acetylation, a cytogenetic marker for gene expression

TL;DR: In this paper, immunolabeled human and mouse metaphase chromosomes with antibodies specific for the acetylated isoforms of histone H4 were labeled in regions corresponding to conventional R bands (regions enriched in coding DNA), except for a single chromosome in female cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

HDA1 and RPD3 are members of distinct yeast histone deacetylase complexes that regulate silencing and transcription

TL;DR: The characterized yeast histone deacetylase complexes demonstrate that histone acetylation state has a role in regulating both heterochromatic silencing and regulated gene expression.
