Journal ArticleDOI

The methyltransferase SETD2 couples transcription and splicing by engaging mRNA processing factors through its SHI domain.

TL;DR: In this article, the histone methyltransferase SETD2 interacts with hnRNP L in vitro and in vivo to regulate alternative splicing (AS) by binding to pre-mRNA transcripts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic alteration in H3 serine 10 phosphorylation is G1-phase specific during ionization radiation induced DNA damage response in human cells.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the drop in the levels of histone H3S10 phosphorylation is a universal phenomenon in response to DNA damage and is a trigger to induce transcription repressive state to facilitate repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone isoform H2A1H promotes attainment of distinct physiological states by altering chromatin dynamics

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the molecular basis of the non-redundancy of the histone H2A isoforms that are being increasingly reported to be functionally important in varied physiological contexts, suggesting that the nucleosome stability is intimately linked with the physiological effects observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of SETD2 stability is important for the fidelity of H3K36me3 deposition

TL;DR: It is shown that the poorly characterized N-terminal region of SETD2 plays a determining role in regulating the stability ofSETD2 and leads to a marked increase in global H3K36me3 which, uncharacteristically, happens in a Pol II-independent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brief Communication: Featured Article: Histone H2A mono-ubiquitination and cellular transformation are inversely related in N-nitrosodiethylamine-induced hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: This work for the first time suggests the in vivo association of H3S10p, H4ac, and H2A119ub with cellular transformation and shows that treatment of cells with histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A results in increase of H1Aub and decrease in H3s10p.
