TET1 and hydroxymethylcytosine in transcription and DNA methylation fidelity
Enzymes catalysing the methylation of the 5-position of cytosine (mC) have essential roles in regulating gene expression and maintaining cellular identity. Recently, TET1 was found to hydroxylate the methyl gr...

JARID2 regulates binding of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 to target genes in ES cells
Polycomb proteins have a key role in regulating the expression of genes essential for development, differentiation and maintenance of cell fates. Here, Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is shown to form a c...

UTX and JMJD3 are histone H3K27 demethylases involved in HOX gene regulation and development
Two human JmjC-domain-containing enzymes are shown to catalyse demethylation of histone H3K27me3, a histone modification mediated by polycomb proteins and associated with stem cell maintenance and differentiation

The putative oncogene GASC1 demethylates tri- and dimethylated lysine 9 on histone H3
Two papers in this issue identify enzymes capable of demethylating a trimethyl group from the Lys 9 residue of histone H3 — a 'mark' required for the establishment of heterochromatin and previously considered ...

Post-Translational Modifications of Proteins: Implications for Aging, Antigen Recognition, and Autoimmunity
Proteins are complex organic molecules susceptible to numerous post-translational modifications occurring spontaneously during aging or as a consequence of physiologic or pathologic processes. Antigenicity and...

Age-related de-phosporylation of proteins in dentin: A biological tool for assessment of protein age
Mature tooth dentin has essentially no metabolic activity, and thus post-translational modifications accumulate with aging in this tissue. In the present paper, we have studied age-related covalent changes of ...
