The methylation of histone proteins is an essential part of an area of genetics which deals with the modification of histone proteins called epigenomics. Epigenomics is the study of modifications of nucleosomes, which inhibit or express gene trancriscription without changing the underlining DNA sequence. Methylation of histone protein is one of many ways that regulates gene expression. of course, SUV39H1 alone does not methtylate the histone proteins. SUV39H1 transfers the methyl group via protein-protein interactions (shown in Figure 1). | ||
