Eukaryotic chromatin is separated into functional domains differentiated by post-translational
histone modifications, histone variants and DNA methylation,,,,,. Methylation is associated …

Modifications on histones control important biological processes through their effects on
chromatin structure,,. Methylation at lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4) is found at the 5′ end of …

Post-translational modifications of histone amino termini are an important regulatory
mechanism that induce transitions in chromatin structure, thereby contributing to epigenetic …

Epigenetic regulation involves reversible changes in DNA methylation and/or histone
modification patterns,,,,,,. Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can direct DNA methylation and …

Besides serving to package nuclear DNA, histones carry information in the form of a diverse
array of post-translational modifications. Methylation of histones H3 and H4 has been …

Histones package DNA, and post-translational modifications of histones can regulate access
to DNA. Until recently, histone methylation—unlike all other histone modifications—was …

Histone posttranslational modification leads to downstream effects indirectly by allowing or
preventing docking of effector molecules, or directly by changing the intrinsic biophysical …

Set2-mediated methylation of histone H3 at Lys 36 (H3K36me) is a co-transcriptional event
that is necessary for the activation of the Rpd3S histone deacetylase complex, thereby …

The Arabidopsis gene DDM1 is required to maintain DNA methylation levels and is
responsible for transposon and transgene silencing. However, rather than encoding a DNA …

In flowering plants, heterochromatin is demarcated by the histone variant H2A. W, elevated
levels of the linker histone H1, and specific epigenetic modifications, such as high levels of …
