Heterochromatin protein 1a stimulates histone H3 lysine 36 demethylation by the Drosophila KDM4A demethylase.

TL;DR: It is reported that a Drosophila melanogaster JmjC domain-containing protein, dKDM4A, is a histone H3K36 demethylase, and in vivo evidence suggesting that heterochromatin protein 1a (HP1a) associates with dKDMA4A and that loss of HP1a leads to an increased level of hist one H 3K36me3.

Histone lysine trimethylation exhibits a distinct perinuclear distribution in Plzf-expressing spermatogonia

TL;DR: It is shown that Plzf-expressing spermatogonia completely lack monomethyl-H3-K27 and monometo-H4-K20, and contain very little monomet h2O, a sign of the possible importance of different histone lysine methylation states in the epigenetic control of sperMatogenesis.

Epigenetics in teleost fish: From molecular mechanisms to physiological phenotypes.

TL;DR: The evolution of the repertoire of genes involved in key molecular epigenetic pathways including histone modifications, DNA methylation and microRNAs in zebrafish, rainbow trout, and Atlantic salmon are described.

LSD1 promotes oxidative metabolism of white adipose tissue

TL;DR: Genome-wide binding and transcriptome analyses demonstrate that LSD1 directly stimulates the expression of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in cooperation with nuclear respiratory factor 1 (Nrf1) and establish LSD1 as a key regulator of OXPHOS and metabolic adaptation in WAT.

Cancer treatment of the future: inhibitors of histone methyltransferases.

TL;DR: Since connections between histone methylation patterns and cancer progression have been recognized, hist one methyltransferases represent promising targets for future cancer treatment.

Translating the Histone Code

TL;DR: It is proposed that this epigenetic marking system represents a fundamental regulatory mechanism that has an impact on most, if not all, chromatin-templated processes, with far-reaching consequences for cell fate decisions and both normal and pathological development.

Role of Histone H3 Lysine 27 Methylation in Polycomb-Group Silencing

TL;DR: The purification and characterization of an EED-EZH2 complex, the human counterpart of the Drosophila ESC-E(Z) complex, is reported, and it is demonstrated that the complex specifically methylates nucleosomal histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3-K27).
Journal ArticleDOI

Methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 creates a binding site for HP1 proteins.

TL;DR: It is shown that mammalian methyltransferases that selectively methylate histone H3 on lysine 9 (Suv39h HMTases) generate a binding site for HP1 proteins—a family of heterochromatic adaptor molecules implicated in both gene silencing and supra-nucleosomal chromatin structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective recognition of methylated lysine 9 on histone H3 by the HP1 chromo domain.

TL;DR: A stepwise model for the formation of a transcriptionally silent heterochromatin is provided: SUV39H1 places a ‘methyl marker’ on histone H3, which is then recognized by HP1 through its chromo domain, which may also explain the stable inheritance of theheterochromatic state.

Regulation of chromatin structure by site-specific histone H3 methyltransferases

TL;DR: A functional interdependence of site-specific H3 tail modifications is revealed and a dynamic mechanism for the regulation of higher-order chromatin is suggested.
