Inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stromal cells by retinoblastoma binding protein 2 repression of RUNX2-activated transcription.

TL;DR: This study is the first to demonstrate the functional and biological roles of H3K4 demethylase RBP2 in osteogenic differentiation of hASCs and to linkRBP2 to the transcriptional regulation of RUNX2.

Zinc Fingers, TALEs, and CRISPR Systems: A Comparison of Tools for Epigenome Editing.

TL;DR: The molecular structure and mechanism of action of ZF, TALE, and CRISPR platforms are summarized and their applications for the locus-specific manipulation of the epigenome are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Drosophila melanogaster JmjC+N histone demethylases

TL;DR: The results show that Lid (little imaginal discs), which is structurally homologous to JARID1, demethylates H3K4me3, which is consistent with the identification of lid as a trithorax group (trxG) gene, and indicate that dJMJD2(1)/CG15835 contributes to delimit hetero- and euchromatic territories through the regulation of H3k36 methylation in euchROMatin.

Inhibitors of DNA Methylation, Histone Deacetylation, and Histone Demethylation: A Perfect Combination for Cancer Therapy

TL;DR: This review will focus on the potential benefits and synergistic/additive effects of combining DNA-demethylating agents and histone deacetylase inhibitors or lysine-specific demethylase inhibitors together in epigenetic therapy for solid tumors and will highlight what is known regarding the mechanisms of action that contribute to the antitumor response.
Journal ArticleDOI

The RNA polymerase II kinase Ctk1 regulates positioning of a 5' histone methylation boundary along genes.

TL;DR: The evidence presented suggests that Ctk1 controls the maintenance of suppressive chromatin in the coding regions of genes by both promoting H3K36 methylation, which leads to histone deacetylation, and preventing the 3′ spread of H 3K4 trimethylation, a mark associated with transcriptional initiation.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
