Ubiquitination of histone H2B regulates H3 methylation and gene silencing in yeast.
Nature - 4 Jul 2002
Sun Zu-Wen, Allis C David
Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, the DNA of the genome is packaged with histone proteins to form nucleosomal filaments, which are, in turn, folded into a series of less well understood chromatin structures. Post-translational modifications of histone tail domains modulate chromatin structure and gene expression. Of these, histone ubiquitination is poorly understood. Here we show that the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Rad6 (Ubc2)...
