10.1038/s41467-021-24532-8 | 135,317,206 | Abstract Histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation is a central epigenetic modification that defines heterochromatin from unicellular to multicellular organisms. In mammalian cells, H3K9 methylation can be catalyzed by at least six distinct SET domain enzymes: Suv39h1/Suv39h2, Eset1/Eset2 and G9a/Glp. We used mouse embryo... | 10.1038/s41580-022-00483-w | This study describes the effect of losing all detectable H3K9me owing to the loss of the six redundant mammalian H3K9-specific HMTs; analogous ablations and their consequences in C. elegans are described by Towbin et al.
