Abstract

Lysine 9 of histone 3 (H3K9) can be mono-, di-, or trimethylated, inducing distinct effects on gene expression and chromatin compaction. H3K9 methylation can be mediated by several histone methyltransferases (HKMTs) that possess mono-, di-, or trimethylation activities. Here we provide evidence that a subset of each of the main H3K9 HKMTs, G9a/KMT1C, GLP/KMT1D, SETDB1/KMT1E, and Suv39h1/KMT1A, coexist in the same megacomplex. Moreover, in Suv39h or G9a null cells, the remaining HKMTs are destabilized at the protein level, indicating that the integrity of these HKMTs is interdependent. The four HKMTs are recruited to major satellite repeats, a known Suv39h1 genomic target, but also to multiple G9a target genes. Moreover, we report a functional cooperation between the four H3K9 HKMTs in the regulation of known G9a target genes. Altogether, our data identify a H3K9 methylation multimeric complex.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
