Gene Expression, Chromatin and Signalling Seminar Programme (GECS)
Abstract: The H3K4 methylation system is the most widely conserved segment of eukaryotic epigenetic regulation. Expectations that it therefore plays a central role in gene expression have not been sustained. It can be deleted in yeast with only modest effect and although each of the six H3K4 methyltransferases are required in mouse development, they do so for very different reasons. I will discuss the quest for a unifying logic by presenting recent work on H3K4 methylation and demethylation in yeast, as well as a summary of our ongoing work on the six H3K4 methyltransferases in mouse development.
