Structural basis for specific binding of Polycomb chromodomain to histone H3 methylated at Lys 27

TL;DR: A 1.4-A-resolution structure of the chromodomain of Polycomb in complex with a hist one H3 peptide trimethylated at Lys 27 reveals a conserved mode of methyl-lysine binding and identifies Polycomb-specific interactions with histone H3, and proposes that self-association is functionally important for Polycomb.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for selective binding of m6A RNA by the YTHDC1 YTH domain

TL;DR: These structural studies, together with transcriptome-wide identification of YTHDC1-binding sites and biochemical experiments, not only reveal the specific mode of m(6)A-YTH binding but also explain the preferential recognition of the GG(m( 6)A)C)C sequences by YTH DC1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and function of WD40 domain proteins.

TL;DR: The identification, definition and architecture of the WD40 domains are discussed, and how post-translational modifications are recognized by the large versatile family of WD40 domain proteins are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the catalytic domain of human DOT1L, a non-SET domain nucleosomal histone methyltransferase.

TL;DR: The structure of the catalytic domain of human Dot1, hDOT1L, in complex with S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) reveals a unique organization of a mainly alpha-helical N-terminal domain and a central open alpha/beta structure, an active site consisting of a SAM binding pocket, and a potential lysine binding channel.
