| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ezh2 knockout mice retinas showed delay of development of not only photoreceptors, but also other neurons and glias. Therefore, roles of histone H3K27 methylation was suggested to be regulation of timing of cells differentiation. We found histone H3 lysine other than K27 was also involved in retinal development. ChIP-seq showed that the gene loci, which are highly modified this methylation, was also methylated in histone H3K27, suggesting new mechanisms that co-operated regulation of transcription by these two methylations.
