Chromatin Modifications and Their Function

TL;DR: The surface of nucleosomes is studded with a multiplicity of modifications that can dictate the higher-order chromatin structure in which DNA is packaged and can orchestrate the ordered recruitment of enzyme complexes to manipulate DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of chromatin by histone modifications

TL;DR: The known histone modifications are described, where they are found genomically and discussed and some of their functional consequences are discussed, concentrating mostly on transcription where the majority of characterisation has taken place.

Epigenetics in Cancer

TL;DR: The current understanding of alterations in the epigenetic landscape that occur in cancer compared with normal cells, the roles of these changes in cancer initiation and progression, including the cancer stem cell model, and the potential use of this knowledge in designing more effective treatment strategies are discussed.

The Emerging Hallmarks of Cancer Metabolism

TL;DR: This Perspective has organized known cancer-associated metabolic changes into six hallmarks: deregulated uptake of glucose and amino acids, use of opportunistic modes of nutrient acquisition, useof glycolysis/TCA cycle intermediates for biosynthesis and NADPH production, increased demand for nitrogen, alterations in metabolite-driven gene regulation, and metabolic interactions with the microenvironment.

Long Noncoding RNA as Modular Scaffold of Histone Modification Complexes

TL;DR: The results suggest that lincRNAs may serve as scaffolds by providing binding surfaces to assemble select histone modification enzymes, thereby specifying the pattern of histone modifications on target genes.

Rb targets histone H3 methylation and HP1 to promoters

TL;DR: It is shown that SUV39H1 and HP1 are both involved in the repressive functions of the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein, and Chromatin immunoprecipitations show that Rb is necessary to direct methylation of histone H3, and is necessary for binding of HP1 to the cyclin E promoter.

Cloning of p57KIP2, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor with unique domain structure and tissue distribution.

TL;DR: The expression pattern and unique domain structure of p57 suggest that this CDI may play a specialized role in cell cycle control.

Methylation of H3-Lysine 79 Is Mediated by a New Family of HMTases without a SET Domain

TL;DR: The studies reveal a new methylation site and define a novel family of histone lysine methyltransferase, which is found in the globular domain of H3, and found that K79 methylation level is regulated throughout the cell cycle.

Regulation of LSD1 histone demethylase activity by its associated factors.

TL;DR: It is shown that CoREST endows LSD1 with the ability to demethylate nucleosomal substrates and that it protects LSD1 from proteasomal degradation in vivo, suggesting that hypoacetylated nucleosomes may be the preferred physiological substrate.
