Abstract excerpt
Several transcription factors, including p53, NF-κB, and STAT3, are modified by the same enzymes that also modify histones, with important functional consequences. We have identified a previously unrecognized dimethylation of K49 of STAT3 that is crucial for the expression of many IL-6-dependent genes, catalyzed by the histone-modifying enzyme enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). Loss of EZH2 is protumorigenic in...
