Trithorax group proteins: switching genes on and keeping them active [PDF]
Cellular memory is provided by two counteracting groups of chromatin proteins termed Trithorax group (TrxG) and Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. TrxG proteins activate transcription and are perhaps best known because of the involvement of the TrxG protein ...

Global lysine methylome profiling using systematically characterized affinity reagents
Lysine methylation modulates the function of histone and non-histone proteins, and the enzymes that add or remove lysine methylation—lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) and lysine demethylases (KDMs), respectively—are frequently mutated and dysregulated in ...

Epigenomes in Cardiovascular Disease. [PDF]
If unifying principles could be revealed for how the same genome encodes different eukaryotic cells and for how genetic variability and environmental input are integrated to impact cardiovascular health, grand challenges in basic cell biology and ...

Histone Deimination Antagonizes Arginine Methylation [PDF]
Methylation of arginine residues within histone H3 has been linked to active transcription. This modification appears on the estrogen-regulated pS2 promoter when the CARM1 methyltransferase is recruited during transcriptional activation. Here we describe a process, deimination, that converts histone arginine to citrulline and antagonizes arginine ...

Epigenetic modifications are studied intensively to understand mechanisms of long-term memory. We have shown that histone H3 methylation is important for the defense reflexes formation in the mollusk Helix lucorum.

Arabidopsis homologs of retinoblastoma-associated protein 46/48 associate with a histone deacetylase to act redundantly in chromatin silencing. [PDF]
RNA molecules such as small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and antisense RNAs (asRNAs) trigger chromatin silencing of target loci. In the model plant Arabidopsis, RNA-triggered chromatin silencing involves repressive histone modifications such as histone ...

Specific binding of the methyl binding domain protein 2 at the BRCA1-NBR2 locus [PDF]
The methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) proteins are key molecules in the interpretation of DNA methylation signals leading to gene silencing. We investigated their binding specificity at the constitutively methylated region of a CpG island containing the ...
