Histone modifications are key epigenetic regulatory features that have important roles in
many cellular events. Lysine methylations mark various sites on the tail and globular …

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Set1/COMPASS was the first histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4)
methylase identified over 10 years ago. Since then, it has been demonstrated that …

SET domain-containing proteins belong to a group of enzymes named after a common
domain that utilizes the cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to achieve methylation of …

Various factors differentially recognize trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) near
promoters, H3K4me2 just downstream, and promoter-distal H3K4me1 to modulate gene …

In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit, the number of locules (cavities containing seeds that
are derived from carpels) varies from two to up to 10 or more. Locule number affects fruit …

The regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II is closely intertwined with the
regulation of chromatin structure. A host of proteins required for the disassembly …

Regulation of gene transcription is vitally important for the maintenance of normal cellular
homeostasis. Failure to correctly regulate gene expression, or to deal with problems that …

Covering: up to the end of September 2009 The covalent modification of chromatin is an
important control mechanism used by fungi to modulate the transcription of genes involved …

Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me) is an evolutionarily conserved modification
whose role in the regulation of gene expression has been extensively studied. In contrast …

Termination of transcription by RNA polymerase II requires two distinct processes: The
formation of a defined 3′ end of the transcribed RNA, as well as the disengagement of RNA …
