Double SET point: G9a makes its mark in adipogenesis.
Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) bind throughout the genome to orchestrate the process of adipocyte differentiation in an exquisitely timed and precise manner. TF binding recruits histone-modifying enzymes, resulting in dynamic epigenomic modifications that correlate with extensive gene expression changes. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Wang et al (2013) demonstrate...
متن کاملEPrints makes its mark
Purpose — To report on the impact and cost/benefit of implementing three EPrints digital repositories at the University of Otago, and to encourage others to follow suit. Design/methodology/approach — Three repositories were successfully implemented at the University of Otago using existing commodity hardware and free open source software. The first pilot repository was implemented within ten da...
متن کاملncRNA transcription makes its mark
A recently recognized strategy for gene regulation involves transcription of a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcript that overlaps the gene targeted for regulation. In many cases, it seems that it is the act of transcription itself rather than the ncRNA transcript that mediates regulation. A paper in this issue of the EMBO Journal shows one mechanism by which these transcription events regulate tra...
متن کاملHistone methylation makes its mark on longevity.
How long organisms live is not entirely written in their genes. Recent findings reveal that epigenetic factors that regulate histone methylation, a type of chromatin modification, can affect lifespan. The reversible nature of chromatin modifications suggests that therapeutic targeting of chromatin regulators could be used to extend lifespan and healthspan. This review describes the epigenetic r...
متن کاملRetinoblastoma Makes Its Mark on Imprinting in Plants
Genomic imprinting results in the preferential expression of alleles from either the maternal or paternal chromosomes. This epigenetic process occurs in embryonic and extra-embryonic (placental) tissues of mammals, but only in the extra-embryonic tissue (the endosperm) of flowering plant seeds. It is thought that imprinting arose to ensure that both maternal and paternal genomes contribute to t...
