摘要: The rapid progress in deciphering the processes of covalent histone modifications has broadened our understanding transcriptional regulation. Histone lysine methylation, along with DNA establishes framework for long-term epigenetic maintenance. Recent studies mechanisms specific methylation have revealed a complex process that controls aspects short- and regulation, addition to propagation bulk chromosome structure stability. In this article, we review functional properties enzymes catalyze modification.
