Abstract excerpt
Estrogen receptor (ER) signaling plays a pivotal role in many developmental processes and has been implicated in numerous diseases including cancers. We recently showed that direct ERα methylation by the multi-specificity histone lysine methyltransferase SMYD2 regulates estrogen signaling through repressing ERα-dependent transactivation. However, the mechanism controlling the specificity of the SMYD2-ERα...
