Abstract excerpt
We report that embryos deficient in the histone acetyltransferase Moz (Myst3/Kat6a) show histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) hypoacetylation, corresponding H3K9 hypermethylation, and reduced transcription at Hox gene loci. Consistent with an observed caudal shift in Hox gene expression, segment identity is shifted anteriorly, such that Moz-deficient mice show a profound homeotic transformation of the axial skeleton and...
