Abstract excerpt
Methylation of histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me) is essential for recruiting checkpoint proteins 53BP1/Crb2 to DNA lesions and subsequent activation of a DNA-damage checkpoint. In fission yeast, Set9 (spKMT5) catalyzes mono-, di-, and trimethylation of H4K20. However, the mechanisms that regulate Set9 function are poorly understood. Here, we identified a PWWP domain protein Pdp1 as a Set9-associated factor. Pdp1...
