Research Abstract |
In vertebrate, histones are modified in various combinations to produce the elaborate transcriptional control. In this study, we focus on the interaction of the trithorax MLL and polycomb Pc proteins to clarify the new regulatory mechanism by histone methylation. From structural analysis, two proteins were found to interact directly through a domain that has the opposite function of each other. This interaction was considered to adjust the balance of transcriptional activation and repression.
