组蛋白包装DNA,并且组蛋白的翻译后修饰可以调节对DNA的访问。直到最近,组蛋白甲基化-与所有其他组蛋白修饰不同-被认为是一种永久性标记。逆转赖氨酸和赖氨酸甲基化的酶的发现挑战了我们目前对组蛋白甲基化的独特性质的思考,并大大增加了组蛋白修饰途径的复杂性。
Histones package DNA, and post-translational modifications of histones can regulate access to DNA. Until recently, histone methylation - unlike all other histone modifications - was considered a permanent mark. The discovery of enzymes that reverse the methylation of lysines and arginines challenges our current thinking on the unique nature of histone methylation, and substantially increases the complexity of histone modification pathways.
