Histone-modifying enzymes require recruitment to specific genomic loci in order to elicit their effects. In this issue, Kleine-Kohlbrecher et al. reveal how a histone demethylase is targeted to specific genes, thereby providing mechanistic insight into recruitment and regulation.

H3K56me3 is a novel, conserved heterochromatic mark that largely but not completely overlaps with H3K9me3 in both regulation and localization. [PDF]
Histone lysine (K) methylation has been shown to play a fundamental role in modulating chromatin architecture and regulation of gene expression. Here we report on the identification of histone H3K56, located at the pivotal, nucleosome DNA entry/exit ...

BackgroundEnvironmental pollutants can affect N6-methyladenosine (m6A) level in the body, but the change of m6A level in kidney after being exposed to cadmium (Cd) and the molecular mechanism of renal injury need to be further studied.

PHF2 regulates homology-directed DNA repair by controlling the resection of DNA double strand breaks [PDF]
Post-translational histone modifications and chromatin remodelling play a critical role controlling the integrity of the genome. Here, we identify histone lysine demethylase PHF2 as a novel regulator of the DNA damage response by regulating DNA damage ...

Histone Lysine Demethylase Inhibitors [PDF]
The dynamic regulation of covalent modifications to histones is essential for maintaining genomic integrity and cell identity and is often compromised in cancer. Aberrant expression of histone lysine demethylases has been documented in many types of blood and solid tumors, and thus demethylases represent promising therapeutic targets.

The role of demethylase AlkB homologs in cancer
The AlkB family (ALKBH1-8 and FTO), a member of the Fe (II)- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily, has shown the ability to catalyze the demethylation of a variety of substrates, including DNA, RNA, and histones.

The Roles and Regulation of m6A Modification in Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Tumorigenesis
Glioblastoma is the most common and most lethal primary malignant brain tumor. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a widespread and abundant internal messenger RNA (mRNA) modification found in eukaryotes.
