Abstract excerpt
Monomethylation of lysine 20 of histone H4 (H4K20me1) is catalyzed by Set8 and thought to play important roles in many aspects of genome function that are mediated by H4K20me binding proteins. We interrogated this model in a developing animal by comparing in parallel the transcriptomes of Set8 null , H4 K20R/A , and l(3)mbt mutant Drosophila melanogaster We found that the gene expression profiles of H4 K20A and...
