Cross-talk between Histone Modifications in Response to Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors MLL4 LINKS HISTONE H3 ACETYLATION AND HISTONE H3K4 METHYLATION

TL;DR: Using histone modification-specific antibodies to demonstrate that two histone modifications involved in gene activation, histone H3 acetylation and H3 lysine 4 methylation, are functionally linked, shows that the abundance of H3K4 methylation is regulated by the activities of two opposing enzyme activities.

Structural basis of histone demethylation by LSD1 revealed by suicide inactivation

TL;DR: The crystal structure of human LSD1 with a propargylamine-derivatized H3 peptide covalently tethered to FAD is reported and the unusual backbone conformation of LSD1-bound H3 suggests a strategy for designing potent LSD1 inhibitors with therapeutic potential.

REVIEW The Dynamic Epigenome and its Implications in Toxicology

Moshe Szyf
TL;DR: In this article, it is proposed that exposure to different environmental agents could lead to interindividual phenotypic diversity as well as differential susceptibility to disease and behavioral pathologies, and interindividual differences in the epigenetic state could also affect susceptibility to xenobiotics.

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.

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.
