Histone Lysine Methylation in Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) belongs to debilitating microvascular complications of diabetes and is the leading cause of end-stage renal diseases worldwide. Furthermore, outcomes from the DCCT/EDIC study showed that DN often persists and progresses despite intensive glucose control in many diabetes patients, possibly as a result of prior episode of hyperglycemia, which is called "metabolic memory....
متن کاملA Crack in Histone Lysine Methylation
Histone lysine methylation is regarded as a very stable modification with important functions in epigenetic gene control and for organizing chromatin domains. While more robust modifications of the chromatin template are essential to stabilize epigenetic information, there is now the first evidence for a histone lysine demethylase that reverts an activating methyl mark to the unmodified state (...
متن کاملO-29: Aberrant Methylation of Lysine 9 on Histone 3 in PII Promoter of CYP19A1 Gene in Women with Endometriosis
Background Cytochrome aromatase p450, encoded by the gene CYP19A1, is a key enzyme for estrogen biosynthesis. Among the multiple promoters of CYP19A1, the proximal promoter PII is the most active ones in ovary and endometrium. Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen dependent gynecological condition characterized by the presence of ectopic glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Recently, evi...
متن کاملHistone lysine methylation and chromatin replication.
In eukaryotic organisms, the replication of the DNA sequence and its organization into chromatin are critical to maintain genome integrity. Chromatin components, such as histone variants and histone post-translational modifications, along with the higher-order chromatin structure, impact several DNA metabolic processes, including replication, transcription, and repair. In this review we focus o...
متن کاملHistone Lysine Methylation and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Methylation of several lysine residues of histones is a crucial mechanism for relatively long-term regulation of genomic activity. Recent molecular biological studies have demonstrated that the function of histone methylation is more diverse and complex than previously thought. Moreover, studies using newly available genomics techniques, such as exome sequencing, have identified an increasing n...
