Abstract excerpt
Covalent modifications of histone proteins have profound consequences on chromatin structure and function. Specific modification patterns constitute a code read by effector proteins. Studies from yeast found that H3 trimethylation at K4 and K79 is dependent on ubiquitylation of H2B K123, which is termed a "trans-tail pathway." In this study, we show that a strain unable to be ubiquitylated on H2B (K123R) is still...
