Neuroepigenetics of stress.

TL;DR: It is now clear that exposure to stress, particularly in early life, has both acute and lasting effects on these marks, which influence cognitive function and behavior, as well as the risk for suicide and psychiatric disorders across the lifespan and, in some cases, unto future generations.

High histone acetylation and decreased polycomb repressive complex 2 member levels regulate gene specific transcriptional changes during early embryonic stem cell differentiation induced by retinoic acid.

TL;DR: The temporal interplay of various epigenetic changes in regulating gene expression during early ES cell differentiation is demonstrated and it is shown that other epigenetic marks, in addition to derepression, are important for gene‐specific transcriptional activation.

Epigenetics of estrogen receptor signaling: Role in hormonal cancer progression and therapy

TL;DR: Current knowledge on mechanisms by which ERα signaling potentiates epigenetic changes in cancer cells via histone modifications are summarized.

Acetylation by p300 Regulates Nuclear Localization and Function of the Transcriptional Corepressor CtBP2

TL;DR: The studies have revealed the important roles of acetylation in regulating subcellular localization and transcriptional activity of CtBP2 and its results show that these Lys residues are acetylated by the nuclear acetylase p300.

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).

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.
