Physiological Roles of Class I HDAC Complex and Histone Demethylase
TL;DR: This paper summarizes the distinct and cooperative roles of four class I HDAC complexes, Sin3, NuRD, CoREST, and NCoR/SMRT, with respect to their component diversity and their relationship with specific histone demethylases.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Mechanism-Based Inactivator for Histone Demethylase LSD1
TL;DR: Two peptide-based inhibitor analogues that block LSD1 are designed and synthesized and one contains a propargylamine functionality and shows time-dependent inactivation of LSD1, likely to serve as a useful tool in the study of histone modifications and chromatin remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic nucleosomes
TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the understanding of how nucleosome and chromatin structure may have to adapt to promote these vital functions can be found in this paper, with a focus on how chromatin structures modulate the expression and maintenance of knowledge encoded in eukaryotic genomes.

A Crack in Histone Lysine Methylation
Stefan Kubicek,Thomas Jenuwein +1 more
TL;DR: There is now the first evidence for a histone lysine demethylase that reverts an activating methyl mark to the unmodified state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolism and Epigenetics
TL;DR: This review focuses on the central roles played by acetyl-CoA, S-adenosyl methionine, NAD(+), and a growing list of other acyl- CoA derivatives in epigenetic processes.

Translating the Histone Code
Thomas Jenuwein,C. David Allis +1 more
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
Ru Cao,Liangjun Wang,Hengbin Wang,Li Xia,Hediye Erdjument-Bromage,Paul Tempst,Richard S. Jones,Yi Zhang +7 more
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.
