Functional Role of G9a Histone Methyltransferase in Cancer

TL;DR: In this article, the role of G9a, a histone methyltransferase responsible for histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) mono-and dimethylation, is discussed, focusing on its functional role in regulating gene expression as well as its implications in cancer initiation and progression.

Ubp10/Dot4p Regulates the Persistence of Ubiquitinated Histone H2B: Distinct Roles in Telomeric Silencing and General Chromatin

TL;DR: It is proposed that Ubp10p and Ubp8p are the only ubiquitin proteases that normally remove monoubiquitin from histone H2B and, while there are regions of the genome to which each is specifically targeted, both combine to regulate the global balance of H 2B ubiquitination.

Histone methylation makes its mark on longevity.

TL;DR: The epigenetic regulation of lifespan in diverse model organisms is described, focusing on the role and mode of action of chromatin regulators that affect two epigenetic marks, trimethylated lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me3) and trimethylator 27 of hist one H2 (H2K27me3), in longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The tale of two domains: proteomics and genomics analysis of SMYD2, a new histone methyltransferase.

TL;DR: The combination of the SMYD2 interactome with the gene expression data suggests that some of the genes regulated bySMYD2 are closely associated with SMYD1-interacting proteins.

Dynamic epigenetic regulation in neurons: enzymes, stimuli and signaling pathways

TL;DR: This Review discusses how extracellular cues, including synaptic activity and neurotrophic factors, influence epigenetic modifications and regulate the neuronal transcriptional response and summarizes additional mechanisms that induce chromatin remodeling events by combinatorial assembly of multiprotein complexes on neuronal gene promoters.

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.
