Combinatorial readout of histone H3 modifications specifies localization of ATRX to heterochromatin

TL;DR: The ADD domain of ATRX, in which most syndrome-causing mutations occur, engages the N-terminal tail of histone H3 through two rigidly oriented binding pockets, one for unmodified Lys4 and the other for di- or trimethylated Lys9, and illustrates how the 'histone-code' is interpreted by a combination of multivalent effector-chromatin interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding alpha-globin gene regulation: Aiming to improve the management of thalassemia.

TL;DR: Previously, nearly all mutations causing thalassemia have been found in or around the globin loci, but rare inherited and acquired trans‐acting mutations are being found more often and are revealing new pathways in the regulation of globin gene expression that may open up new avenues for improving the management of patients with common types of thalassesmia.
