N‐terminal tails of histones are easily accessible outside of the nucleosomal core particle and post‐translational modifications (PTMs) of these tails have been the focus of attention in the past 15–20 years. By recruiting (or excluding) specific readers, histone modifications can regulate chromatin dynamics and, by extension, DNA‐dependent processes. However, until very recently, the direct impact...
Histones are fundamental structural components of chromatin. Eukaryotic DNA is wound around an octamer of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Binding of linker histone H1 promotes higher order chromatin organization. In addition to their structural role, histones impact chromatin function and dynamics by, e.g., post-translational histone modifications or the presence of specific histone variants...
Protein N-methylation has recently emerged as a major mechanism involved in regulating gene transcription and epigenetic inheritance. Transcriptional coactivators and corepressors have both been shown to associate with protein N-methyltransferases. These enzymes methylate arginine or lysine residues within histones as well as other proteins, such as transcription factors. Here, we discuss the recent...
