Lysine methylation of the NF-κB subunit RelA by SETD6 couples activity of the histone methyltransferase GLP at chromatin to tonic repression of NF-κB signaling
Binding of the transcription factor NF-κB subunit RelA activates proinflammatory gene expression. Gozani and colleagues show that basal expression of RelA target genes is suppressed by methylation of RelA by S...
