Article Synopsis
  • Histone methylation plays a crucial role in regulating chromatin function by influencing the chromatin structure and creating specific binding sites for proteins.
  • Researchers studied the crystal structures of nucleosomes with methylated histones to understand how these modifications affect chromatin folding.
  • Specifically, dimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 79 changes the nucleosome's immediate surface, while trimethylation of H4 at lysine 20 impacts the arrangement of nucleosome arrays at a higher level.
