Internuclear gene silencing in Phytophthora infestans is established through chromatin remodelling [PDF]
, 2008 In the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans, nuclear integration of inf1 transgenic DNA sequences results in internuclear gene silencing of inf1. Although silencing is regulated at the transcriptional level, it also affects transcription from other ...

Histone Methylation Regulates Memory Formation [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 It has been established that regulation of chromatin structure through post-translational modification of histone proteins, primarily histone H3 phosphorylation and acetylation, is an important early step in the induction of synaptic plasticity and formation of long-term memory.

ATXR5 and ATXR6 are H3K27 monomethyltransferases required for chromatin structure and gene silencing. [PDF]
, 2009 Constitutive heterochromatin in Arabidopsis thaliana is marked by repressive chromatin modifications, including DNA methylation, histone H3 dimethylation at Lys9 (H3K9me2) and monomethylation at Lys27 (H3K27me1).
