Nature. 419:2002;407-411 The authors show that in budding yeast Set1 is required for both di- and tri-methylation of H3 on K4. Dimethylated H3-K4 is found at inactive and active euchromatic genes, whereas tri-methylation is present exclusively at active genes. This study sets the first example that the exact state of methylation (i.e. mono-, di- or tri-methylation) of a single lysine residue itself could have an impact on physiological processes.

Genet. 32:2002;273-279 This manuscript identifies mutations in the globular domains of H3 and H4 that interfere with transcriptional silencing of the rDNA locus in S. cerevisiae. The authors further characterize the novel mutations in several silencing assays, which cluster in patches surrounding H3-K79, the site of Dot 1 methylation (α1 and L1 of the H3-fold), and several sites in the L2 region of H4. All residues are at the surface of the nucleosomal disc and could therefore be involved in internucleosomal contacts or/and engage in post-translational modifications.

Time-course analysis suggests a sequential order of recruitment of chromatin/histone modifiers and the basal transcription apparatus by consecutive acetylation of specific lysine residues in the H3 and H4 tail. Point mutations of the histone tails in nucleosomes that were reconstituted on the IFN-β promoter in vitro verify that bromodomains of different proteins or protein complexes interact with a specific subset of histone acetylation marks.

Genes Dev. 16:2002;743-752 In an inducible gene expression system the authors study the consequences of dynamic recruitment and release of histone deacetylases and histone acetyltransferases to a reporter gene. Following dissociation of the targeting protein from the promoter, local deacetylation and acetylation are reversed with rapid, yet distinct, kinetics. Globally acting enzymatic acetylating and deacetylating activities restore the local perturbation of the steady-state acetylation level within a time frame of minutes.

85. ••] and demonstrates that heterologous repetitive DNA integrated into an ectopic site is sufficient to induce the formation of heterochromatin in fission yeast. Components of the RNAi machinery are required for the initiation of heterochromatic silencing at the mating type loci in fission yeast. A distinct set of proteins (e.g. the H3-K9 HMT, Clr4, and the methyl-K9 binding protein, Swi6) is responsible for the maintenance and inheritance of the silenced state.

Genet. 30:2002;73-76 This report shows accumulation of H3-K9 methylation at the inactive X chromosome in female mammals. By contrast, methylation of H3-K4 is largely absent from this specialized heterochromatic structure. In ChIP experiments, it is shown that silenced genes on the inactive X have high levels of H3-K9 methylation, whereas the promoters of the few genes that escape the silencing process have high levels of H3-K4 methylation.

In Suv39h double-null cells, methylation of H3-K9 on the inactivated X chromosome is not disrupted. The authors suggest that an unidentified H3-K9-specific HMT is responsible for the establishment of the repressive H3-K9 methylation pattern on the inactive X chromosome.
