Histone modifications and prospects for an epigenetic code

Table of Contents: “…Contents: Enzyme-catalyzed modification of the N-terminal tail domains of core histones provides an array of marks across the nucleosome surface and a source of epigenetic information -- This information influences protein-protein interactions during short-term regulation of ongoing transcription and is a means of maintaining or modifying patterns of gene expression from one cell generation to the next -- Cellular memory -- Histone modifications may constitute a heritable epigenetic code that acts in concert with the genetic code as a long-term regulator of gene expression.…”

DNA methylation

Table of Contents: “…Contents: DNA methylation as an epigenetic mark -- location and patterns of methylated and nonmethylated CpG sites in the vertebrate genome -- factors determining DNA methylation patterns -- association of DNA methylation with stable gene silencing, e.g. methylation of CpG islands on the inactive X-chromosome, ensures long term repression of associated genes -- recruitment of corepressors that impose a silent chromatin structure -- repulsion of transcriptional activators by methyl-CpG leading to gene silencing -- the link between human disorders, including cancer, Rett Syndrome and ICF syndrome, and defects in the DNA methylation system.…”
