Abstract excerpt
Mutations in enzymes that modify histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4) or lysine 36 (H3K36) have been linked to human disease, yet the role of these residues in mammals is unclear. We mutated K4 or K36 to alanine in the histone variant H3.3 and showed that the K4A mutation in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) impaired differentiation and induced widespread gene expression changes. K4A resulted in substantial H3.3...
