Eukaryotic genomes are segregated into active euchromatic and repressed heterochromatic compartments. Gene regulatory networks, chromosomal structures, and genome integrity rely on the timely and locus-specific establishment of active and silent states to protect the genome and provide the basis for cell division and specification of cellular identity. Here, we focus on the mechanisms and molecular machinery that establish heterochromatin in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and compare it with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the mammalian polycomb system. We present recent structural and mechanistic evidence, which suggests that histone acetylation protects active transcription by disrupting the positive feedback loops used by the heterochromatin machinery and that H2A and H3 monoubiquitination actively drives heterochromatin, whereas H2B monoubiquitination mobilizes the defenses to quench heterochromatin. Heterochromatin-associated complexes are attracted and repelled by histone marks. Acetylation of specific lysine residues protects euchromatin from silencing. Methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 and 27 amplifies heterochromatin. Nucleosome ubiquitination licences and enforces feedback loops.
