Involvement of Histone Demethylase LSD1 in Blimp-1-Mediated Gene Repression during Plasma Cell Differentiation

TL;DR: It is reported that a proline-rich domain in Blimp-1 directly interacts with LSD1, a histone lysine demethylase, and that LSD1 binding correlates with histone modifications of accessible chromatin.

The lncRNA GATA6-AS epigenetically regulates endothelial gene expression via interaction with LOXL2

TL;DR: It is shown that the long non-coding antisense transcript of GATA6 (GATA6-AS) interacts with the epigenetic regulator LOXL2 to regulate endothelial gene expression via changes in histone methylation, with functional consequences on endothelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis.

Epigenetics and its implications for plant biology. 1. The epigenetic network in plants.

TL;DR: How epigenetic systems in plants were elucidated is addressed and there is a discussion on how the different components of the epigenetic system--regulating DNA methylation, histones and their post-translational modification, and pathways recognizing aberrant transcripts--may work together.

Methylation of arginine residues interferes with citrullination by peptidylarginine deiminases in vitro.

TL;DR: Data indicate that it is unlikely that methyl groups at the guanidino position of peptidylarginine can be removed by peptIDylcitrulline deiminases, which has important implications for the recently reported role of these enzymes in gene regulation.

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.
