The formation of heterochromatin, which requires methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 and
the subsequent recruitment of chromodomain proteins such as heterochromatin protein …

In eukaryotes, the genes encoding ribosomal RNAs (rDNA) exist in two distinct epigenetic
states that can be distinguished by a specific chromatin structure that is maintained …

Histone methylation regulates chromatin structure, transcription, and epigenetic state of the
cell. Histone methylation is dynamically regulated by histone methylases and demethylases …

Methylation of histones modulates chromatin structure and function. Whereas methylation of
histone H3 on lysines 4, 36, and 79 has been linked with gene activation, methylation of H3 …

We have developed an inducible system to visualize gene expression at the levels of DNA,
RNA and protein in living cells. The system is composed of a 200 copy transgene array …

In the last few years, the discovery of lysine and arginine methylation in histones and other
proteins and the enzymes that carry out these posttranslational modifications has added a …

Histones are a major component of chromatin, the protein-DNA complex fundamental to
genome packaging, function, and regulation. A fraction of histones are nonallelic variants …

Pre-messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs) maturation is initiated cotranscriptionally. It is therefore
conceivable that chromatin-borne information participates in alternative splicing. Here we …

The action of phytohormones in plants requires the spatiotemporal regulation of their
accumulation and responses at various levels. Recent studies reveal an emerging …

Epigenetic processes are the main conductors of phenotypic variation in eukaryotes. The
malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs antigenic variation of the major surface …
