Two<i>C. elegans</i>histone methyltransferases repress<i>lin-3</i>EGF transcription to inhibit vulval development
19 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Studies of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and mammalian cells identified a series of histone modifications that result in transcriptional repression. Lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9) is deacetylated by the NuRD complex, methylated by a histone methyltransferase (HMT) and then bound by a chromodomain-containing protein, such as heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), leading to transcriptional repression. A Caenorhabditis...
