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.

JHDM2A, a JmjC-Containing H3K9 Demethylase, Facilitates Transcription Activation by Androgen Receptor

TL;DR: This work identifies a histone demethylase and links its function to hormone-dependent transcriptional activation, resulting in H3K9 demethylation and transcriptionalactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone H3 lysine 4 methylation patterns in higher eukaryotic genes.

TL;DR: The results indicate that in metazoa, di- and tri-methylation of K4/H3 is linked to active transcription and that significant differences exist in the genome-wide methylation pattern as compared with S. cerevisiae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coordinated histone modifications mediated by a CtBP co-repressor complex

TL;DR: The identification of a CtBP complex that contains the essential components for both gene targeting and coordinated histone modifications, allowing for the effective repression of genes targeted by CtBP is reported.

Transitions in Distinct Histone H3 Methylation Patterns at the Heterochromatin Domain Boundaries

TL;DR: It is shown that distinct site-specific histone H3 methylation patterns define euchromatic and heterochromatic chromosomal domains within a 47-kilobase region of the mating-type locus in fission yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Paf1 complex is required for histone H3 methylation by COMPASS and Dot1p: linking transcriptional elongation to histone methylation.

TL;DR: It is reported that the Paf1 protein complex, which is associated with the elongating RNA polymerase II, is required for methylation of lysines 4 and 79 of histone H3 and for silencing of expression of a telomere-associated gene.
