内容简介:

In eukaryotic organisms, access of genetic information is controlled by the “ON” or “OFF” state of chromatin. During the past decades, a remarkable variety of covalent modifications to histones or DNA have been documented. These chemical modifications provide vast indexing potential to the genome, and constitute an additional layer of epigenetic information, referred to as the “histone or epigenetic code” that regulate gene activity without alterations in the underlying DNA sequence. Chromatin modifications are under highly regulated forms of epigenetic control. Eukaryotic cells have evolved with counteracting enzymatic machineries for the “writing” or “erasing” of given epigenetic marks - distinct histone or DNA modifications. Meanwhile, a wealth of conserved “reader” modules have been created for specific recognition of these marks. Here, I report on the molecular basis underlying histone modification readout by the ever-expanding kingdom of reader modules, including Bromo, Tudor, PWWP, PHD, and YEATS domains. The examples presented here highlight how chromatin regulators make use of exquisitely designed reader modules to translate an epigenetic signature into downstream functional outcomes.
