Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of p53 activity through lysine methylation

TL;DR: A novel mechanism of p53 regulation through lysine methylation by Set9 methyltransferase is reported, which specifically methylates p53 at one residue within the carboxyl-terminus regulatory region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Set9, a novel histone H3 methyltransferase that facilitates transcription by precluding histone tail modifications required for heterochromatin formation

TL;DR: The results suggest that the methylation of histone tails can have distinct effects on transcription, depending on its chromosomal location, the combination of posttranslational modifications, and the enzyme (or protein complex) involved in the particular modification.
Journal ArticleDOI

TFIIH is negatively regulated by cdk8-containing mediator complexes

TL;DR: It is shown that cdk8/cyclin C can regulate transcription by targeting the cdk7/ cyclin H subunits of the general transcription initiation factor IIH (TFIIH), which links the Mediator complex and the basal transcription machinery by a regulatory pathway involving two cyclin-dependent kinases.
Journal ArticleDOI

G9a and Glp methylate lysine 373 in the tumor suppressor p53.

TL;DR: Examination of the Oncomine data base shows that G9a and Glp are overexpressed in various cancers compared with corresponding normal tissues, suggesting that they are putative oncogenes and indicate that G 9a is a potential inhibitory target for cancer treatment.
