Histone Methyltransferase

Histone Methyltransferase

Histone modifications are essential for controlling both overall gene expression and stage-specific gene expression. While histones H3K9 and H3K27 are typically associated with gene repression, methylation on histones H3K4, H3K36, and H3K79 is typically associated with gene activation. Site-specific methyltransferases and demethylases dynamically control the methylation of histone lysines. The methylation of H3K27 in cells is carried out by EZH2 (the catalytic subunit of PRC2).
Inhibiting DOT1L, a histone H3 lysine 79 methyltransferase, improves the production of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). A powerful and specific DOT1L inhibitor, EPZ-5676.

The histone methyltransferase enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) trimethylates histone 3's lysine 27 (H3K27me3), which results in chromatin condensation and transcriptional repression and is essential for PRC2 activity.
