Abstract excerpt
Wnt/beta-catenin signaling inhibits adipogenesis. Genome-wide profiling studies have revealed the enrichment of histone H3K27 methyltransferase Ezh2 on Wnt genes. However, the functional significance of such a direct link between the two types of developmental regulators in mammalian cells, and the role of Ezh2 in adipogenesis, remain unclear. Here we show Ezh2 and its H3K27 methyltransferase activity are...
