Abstract excerpt
In living cells, the N-terminal tails of core histones, the proteinaceous component of nucleosomes, are subjected to a range of covalent post-translational modifications (PTMs), which have specific roles in modulating chromatin structure and function. A growing body of evidence suggests that deregulation of histone modification patterns, upstream or downstream of DNA methylation, is a critical event in cancer...
