Soft 3D fibrin matrices downregulate FAK expression to promote self-renewal of tumor-repopulating cells
… in TRCs by promoting histone 3 lysine residue 9 (H3K9) de-methylation and Sox2 expression [1]. However, the underlying mechanism(s) by which soft 3D fibrin matrices promote H3K9 de-methylation and Sox2 expression remain elusive. In this study we show that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) regulates Sox2 …

Studies on the Histone Methyltransferase G9a
… the possible functions of histone 3, lysine 3 (H3K9) methylation in the immune system through conditional inactivation of the H3K9-specific methyltransferases G9a and GLP. These studies demonstrate that G9a is essential for B cell development in the mouse, but is dispensable for T cell …

Neuroglial Mechanisms Involved In The Anti-Inflammatory Effect Of Acetate Supplementation
… and reversed LPS-induced histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9) hypoacetylation and interleukin (IL)-1β expression. In LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglia, acetate treatment reversed LPS-induced H3K9 hypoacetylation, IL-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, cyclooxygenase (Cox)-1 and 2 protein levels, and …

The synthetic multivulva genes and their suppressors regulate opposing cell fates through chromatin remodeling
… which deacetylates lysine nine of histone H3 (H3K9), and HP1, we found two histone methyltransferase (HMT) genes (met-1 and met-2) that act as class B synMuv genes and repress lin-3 transcription. met-1 encodes a C. elegans homolog of yeast Set2, an H3K36 HMT that inhibits the ectopic …

Role of ORCA and ORC in chromatin organization and DNA replication
… with heterochromatin. ORCA recognizes methylated H3K9 marks and interacts with repressive KMTs, including G9a/GLP and Suv39H1 in a chromatin context-dependent manner. Single-molecule pull-down assays demonstrate that ORCA-ORC and multiple H3K9 KMTs exist in a single complex and that ORCA …

Molekulare und funktionelle Analyse von Windei (CG12340) als Bindungspartner der Histonmethyltransferase Eggless während der Oogenese von <i>Drosophila</i>
… Die Trimethylierung von Histon 3 am Lysin 9 (H3K9me3) führt zur Ruhigstellung des Chromatins und zur Bildung von Heterochromatin durch die Rekrutierung von Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1). Eggless (Egg), das Ortholog der humanen Methyltransferase SETDB1, ist für die H3K9-Trimethylierung in der …

Characterization of Chronic Glucocorticoid Exposure on Natural Killer Cell Function: A Model for Stress Induced Alterations on the Epigenetic Landscape
… 2 (HDAC2) with concomitant reduction in H3K9-acetylation (Ac). In contrast, IL-6 and IFN-g were primed for increased transcription upon cellular activation demonstrating increased H4K8Ac, increased accessibility of the chromatin structure, and concomitant loss of HDAC1 and HDAC3 at …

Stochastic Activation of Enhancers in the Innate Immune Response by the Histone Demethylase JMJD2D
… I interferon responses. siRNA-depletion of the H3K9 demethylase JMJD2d attenuates gene activation and overexpression of JMJD2d potentiates the IFN response. We find that the underlying mechanism involves the activation of enhancers – knockdown of JMJD2d attenuates stimulus-induced enhancer …

Using S. pombe to Study the Biological Roles of the Histone Deacetylases Sir2 and Clr3 and the DEAD-Box RNA Helicase Ded1
… well as methylation of histone H3 on lysine 9 (H3K9me). Heterochromatin assembly can now be separated into three distinct steps: heterochromatin establishment, spreading, and maintenance. These steps involve the actions of the histone H3K9 methyltransferase Clr4 along with the RNAi pathway. …

The Novel Regulation of Histone Modification In Cancer Development
… reveals that NEDD4 regulates glucose-induced H3K9 acetylation at transcription starting site (TSS) and enhancer regions. Integrative analysis of ChIP-seq and microarray data sets also reveals a consistent role of H3 ubiquitination in transcription activation and H3 K9 acetylation in response …

Transposable elements and the regulatory logic of hematopoietic differentiation
… differentiation. Specifically, knockout of the H3K9 methyltransferase EHMT1 or transcriptional co-repressor TRIM28 induced NK-fated progenitors that ultimately generated NK cells with diverse effector properties. We further leveraged TEs by repurposing the packaging function of the MLV gag …

Investigating 3D genome organisation in Caenorhabditis elegans with Accessible Region Conformation Capture (ARC-C)
… Bristol N2, met-2 set-25 mutants that have no H3K9 methylation to study the effects on domain and compartment formation. In these mutants, compartmentalisation (i.e. inter-domain interactions) between H3K27me3-enriched regulated domains is reduced. I also used ARC-C in blmp-1 mutants to …

Quiescence induces epigenetic changes in bovine fibroblasts and improves their reprogramming into cloned embryos
… (K) of histone 3 (H3), specifically H3K4me3, H3K9me2, H3K9me3 and H3K27me3, but not H3K9me1. Histone acetylation was reduced at H3K9 and H4K5, increased at H3K12 and remained unchanged at H3K16. G₀ cells also significantly reduced DNAme. In addition, they significantly down-regulated the …

Investigating the molecular dynamics of gene re-silencing following treatment with epigenetic therapies
… the persistence of the repressive histone mark H3K9me3 following 5-Aza-dC treatment we find that, in this model, inhibitors of H3K9 methyltransferases do not delay gene re-silencing. These findings show that gene re-silencing is not driven by DNA re-methylation but involves other mechanisms, …

Determinants of piRNA precursor transcription and export in Drosophila melanogaster

REGULATION OF TELOMERASE EXPRESSION IN STEM CELL REPROGRAMMING
… demonstrated a lack of an acetylated histone H3K9 with the opposing di-methylation, indicative of a closed chromatin state at the hTERT promoter. Subsequent treatment of cells with TSA alone showed an upregulation of hTERT mRNA without telomerase activity. However, telomerase activity was …

Regulation of Chromosome Segregation by the Chromosomal Passenger Complex
… from its stably methylated histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) chromatin binding site, clearly demonstrating the existence of a "methyl/phos switch." While the significance of this chromosomal HP1 removal is unclear, I propose that it functions in proper M-phase chromosome compaction. In eukaryotes, …
