General description

The mammalian chromatin is present in nucleosomes, made of histone octamers (H2A,H2B,H3,H4)2. Mammals contain three main classes of histone H3 variants: the replicative histones (H3.1 and H3.2), the replacement histone (H3.3) and the centromeric histone (Cenp-A). Dimethylated histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me2) is mainly present in euchromatin and is linked with repressed promoter areas.

Application

Study enzyme kinetics, and screen small molecular inhibitors of JMJ for drug discovery and HTS applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Histone proteins are basic building blocks of chromatin. Post-translational modifications of histone tails controls chromatin organization and gene transcription. Histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) serves as an epigenetic marker for gene repression and silencing. This modification plays a significant role in embryogenesis and carcinogenesis. Histone methyltransferase G9a is responsible for hypoxic stress-mediated H3K9me2 in mammalian cells

Heterochromatin mediates various nuclear processes including centromere function, gene silencing and nuclear organization. Although it was discovered nearly 75 years ago, the pathways involved in heterochromatin establishment, assembly and epigenetic maintenance have been elusive. Recent reports have demonstrated that distinct

Histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and sequence variants regulate genome function. Although accumulating evidence links particular PTM patterns with specific genomic loci, our knowledge concerning where and when these PTMs are imposed remains limited. Here, we find that lysine methylation is
