Abstract excerpt
Up to 80% of diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are characterized by a lysine to methionine driver mutation (K27M) in the tail of histone variant H3.3, pointing to likely roles for epigenetic mechanisms in K27M-driven tumorigenesis. Understanding the effects of mutant histone H3.3 on the complex patterns of histone modifications and interactions with chromatin structure and modifying enzymes is essential to...
