Structure and biochemical functions of SIRT6.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that SIRT6-dependent histone deacetylation produces O-acetyl-ADP-ribose but at a rate ∼1,000 times slower than other highly active sirtuins, which implies a unique activating mechanism and/or the possibility that Sirt6 could act as an NAD+ metabolite sensor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binding of different histone marks differentially regulates the activity and specificity of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)

TL;DR: It is shown that the WD40 domain of EED, a PRC2 component, is a methyllysine histone-binding domain, and it is found that binding of different histone marks by EED differentially regulates the activity and specificity ofPRC2.
Journal ArticleDOI

MOF and H4 K16 Acetylation Play Important Roles in DNA Damage Repair by Modulating Recruitment of DNA Damage Repair Protein Mdc1

TL;DR: This study revealed a novel chromatin-based mechanism that regulates the DNA damage repair process, and suggested that Mof-mediated H4 K16 acetylation and an intact acidic pocket on H2A.X were essential for the recruitment of Mdc1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methylation-state-specific recognition of histones by the MBT repeat protein L3MBTL2.

TL;DR: L3MBTL2, a human homolog of Drosophila Sfmbt critical for Hox gene silencing, is demonstrated to preferentially recognize lower methylation states of several histone-derived peptides through its fourth MBT repeat, revealing its unique asymmetric rhomboid architecture.
