Cell. 10:2002;1107-1117 The authors show that MLL, the human trithorax homolog, promotes histone acetylation and histone methylation at Hoxc8 regulatory regions, thus promoting Hoxc8 expression. The authors also discuss other recent studies that demonstrate biochemical activities of trxG and PcG proteins.

Genet. 33:2003;70-74 Using a sensitized genetic screen in Drosophila, the authors identified several loci that affect the predisposition of eye tissue to develop abnormal outgrowths. In addition to hsp83, many of these loci included trxG genes. The outgrowths induced by the trxG mutations in the sensitized background correlated with ectopic wingless expression in the eye discs as well as with defective histone acetylation.

Genes Dev. 16:2002;2672-2683 The authors identify upstream regulatory regions of the hedgehog gene that are directly controlled by PcG and trxG proteins and that are required for maintenance of hedgehog expression. The authors show that once hedgehog expression is initiated in wing disc cells, the maintenance of its transcriptional state is controlled by PcG and trxG proteins. Additional trans-activators are implicated in regulating the competence to maintain hedgehog expression in wing disc cells.
