组蛋白及其翻译后修饰影响许多DNA依赖性过程的调节。虽然组蛋白修饰酶在这些过程中的重要作用是公认的,但定义单个组蛋白残基的具体贡献仍然是一个挑战,因为许多组蛋白修饰酶具有非组蛋白靶标。由于缺乏合适的方法对后生动物中的组蛋白基因进行遗传工程改造,这一挑战更加严峻。在这里,我们描述了一个简单的平台,在果蝇中产生和分析任何所需的组蛋白基因型,我们用它来测试在体内功能的三个组蛋白残基。我们证明,H4K20既不是必不可少的DNA复制,也不是完成发展,从H4K20甲基转移酶的分析得出的结论不同。我们还表明,H3K36是必需的活力和H3K27是必不可少的维持细胞的身份在发展过程中。这些发现突出了工程组蛋白在动物中询问基因组结构和功能的力量。
Histones and their post-translational modifications influence the regulation of many DNA-dependent processes. Although an essential role for histone-modifying enzymes in these processes is well established, defining the specific contribution of individual histone residues remains a challenge because many histone-modifying enzymes have non-histone targets. This challenge is exacerbated by the paucity of suitable approaches to genetically engineer histone genes in metazoans. Here, we describe a facile platform in Drosophila for generating and analyzing any desired histone genotype, and we use it to test the in vivo function of three histone residues. We demonstrate that H4K20 is neither essential for DNA replication nor for completion of development, unlike conclusions drawn from analyses of H4K20 methyltransferases. We also show that H3K36 is required for viability and H3K27 is essential for maintenance of cellular identity during development. These findings highlight the power of engineering histones to interrogate genome structure and function in animals.
