Structural Basis of Dot1L Stimulation by Histone H2B Lysine 120 Ubiquitination

TL;DR: Cryo-EM structures of human Dot1L bound to H2BK120Ub and unmodified nucleosome substrates are reported, providing a strong foundation for understanding conserved crosstalk between histone modifications found at actively transcribed genes and offering a general model of how ubiquitin might regulate the activity of chromatin enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of the Dot1 histone H3K79 methyltransferase by histone H4K16 acetylation.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that acetylation of histone H4 allosterically stimulates yeast Dot1 in a manner distinct from but coordinating with histone ubiquitination (H2BUb).
Posted ContentDOI

A giant virus genome is densely packaged by stable nucleosomes within virions

TL;DR: It is suggested that doublet histones have evolved for viral genome protection and may resemble an early stage of histone differentiation leading to the eukaryotic octameric nucleosome.
