Class I histone deacetylases 1, 2 and 3 are highly expressed in renal cell cancer
Background Enhanced activity of histone deacetylases (HDAC) is associated with more aggressive tumour behaviour and tumour progression in various solid tumours.

The histone H3 lysine 36 methyltransferase HypB facilitates embryonic stem cell differentiation [PDF]
Histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) methylation was identified as a conserved modification from yeast to human. In yeast, biochemical characterization of the SET2 protein and genome wide mapping of H3K36me2 and K36me3 indicate that H3K36 methylation functions ...

Lactate, a product of glycolytic metabolism, inhibits histone deacetylase activity and promotes changes in gene expression [PDF]
Chemical inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity are used as experimental tools to induce histone hyperacetylation and deregulate gene transcription, but it is not known whether the inhibition of HDACs plays any part in the normal physiological

Mbd2 contributes to DNA methylation-directed repression of the Xist gene [PDF]
Transcription of the Xist gene triggers X chromosome inactivation in cis and is therefore silenced on the X chromosome that remains active. DNA methylation contributes to this silencing, but the mechanism is unknown.
