Histone Deimination Antagonizes Arginine Methylation
Methylation of arginine residues within histone H3 has been linked to active transcription. This modification appears on the estrogen-regulated pS2 promoter when the CARM1 methyltransferase is recruited during transcriptional activation. Here we describe a process, deimination, that converts histone arginine to citrulline and antagonizes arginine methylation. We show that peptidyl arginine deim...
متن کاملFolate deficiency affects histone methylation
Formaldehyde is extremely toxic reacting with proteins to crosslinks peptide chains. Formaldehyde is a metabolic product in many enzymatic reactions and the question of how these enzymes are protected from the formaldehyde that is generated has largely remained unanswered. Early experiments from our laboratory showed that two liver mitochondrial enzymes, dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (DMGDH) an...
متن کاملHistone methylation regulates memory formation.
It has been established that regulation of chromatin structure through post-translational modification of histone proteins, primarily histone H3 phosphorylation and acetylation, is an important early step in the induction of synaptic plasticity and formation of long-term memory. In this study, we investigated the contribution of another histone modification, histone methylation, to memory forma...
متن کاملHistone Methylation Dynamic or Static?
Methylation of histones mediates transcriptional silencing at heterochromatin sites and affects regulated transcription at euchromatic loci. So is the methyl group a permanent mark on histones, or can it be removed by an active process necessary for regulated gene expression?
متن کاملH1 linker histone promotes epigenetic silencing by regulating both DNA methylation and histone H3 methylation.
Epigenetic silencing in mammals involves DNA methylation and posttranslational modifications of core histones. Here we show that the H1 linker histone plays a key role in regulating both DNA methylation and histone H3 methylation at the H19 and Gtl2 loci in mouse ES cells. Some, but not all, murine H1 subtypes interact with DNA methyltransferases DNMT1 and DNMT3B. The interactions are direct an...
