HP1 maintains protein stability of H3K9 methyltransferases and demethylases

Ryo Maeda et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that HP1 not only recognizes and spreads the epigenetic mark H3K9me2/3, but also plays a role in heterochromatin organization by regulating the protein stability of H3K9 methyltransferases and demethylases.

Establishment of H3K9-methylated heterochromatin and its functions in tissue differentiation and maintenance

Jan Padeken et al.

Summary: Heterochromatin is characterized by histone H3 Lys9 methylation, which ensures transcriptional silencing of repetitive elements and genes. The methyltransferases and "readers" of H3K9me2 or H3K9me3 are highly conserved and show redundancy. Loss or mistargeting of individual H3K9 methyltransferases can lead to impaired cell differentiation, loss of tissue identity, premature aging, and/or cancer. Recent studies in mammals have shed light on the roles of H3K9-specific histone methyltransferases in transcriptional homeostasis during tissue differentiation.

Mga safeguards embryonic stem cells from acquiring extraembryonic endoderm fates

Jinzhong Qin et al.

Summary: Polycomb group (PcG) proteins impact stem cell identity and fate decisions through unknown mechanisms, with the gene Mga playing a role in repressing the endodermal transcription factor Gata6. Deletion of Mga in ESCs leads to impaired self-renewal and spontaneous differentiation to primitive endoderm.
