- The code is an array of post-translational modifications (acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, and sumoylation) of NH 2 -terminal tails of core histone and to a lesser degree their globular domains. (aacrjournals.org)
- 2 In addition to the well-established epigenetic role of DNA methylation, this definition includes a variety of more transient histone modifications such as acetylation, methylation, or phosphorylation that underlie epigenetic effects, and that will be discussed in this chapter along with the influence of SUMOylation, ubiquitination, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation, and microRNA.

- This lack of methylation confers a permissive environment of transcription and represents an important transcriptional regulatory mechanism. (basicmedicalkey.com)
- DNMT1 also cooperates with Rb to repress transcription from promoters containing E2F-binding sites indicating a link between DNA methylation, histone deacetylase and sequence-specific DNA binding activity, as well as a growth-regulatory pathway which is abnormal in nearly all cancer cells.

- Interestingly, this is usually restricted to cytosine that exists in the context of CpG dinucleotides which are widely spread in the human genome. (basicmedicalkey.com)
- While DNA methylation is stable and heritable, it can be reversed by an antagonistic group of enzymes known as DNA de-methylases. (wikipedia.org)
- The various members of this group of enzymes are highly specialized in methylating selected lysines or arginines to a certain degree (monomethylation, dimethylation, trimethylation). (musculoskeletalkey.com)
- They can be categorized into six major subclasses, which display diverse properties affecting the two best characterized epigenetic mechanisms: modulation of the DNA methylation status and histone acetylation. (biomedcentral.com)
- Two of the most characterized epigenetic modifications are DNA methylation and histone modification. (wikipedia.org)
- The most common epigenetic modifications (Fig. 1 ) are changes in the DNA methylation pattern, posttranslational histone modifications, and variations in the expression of non-coding microRNA (miRNA). (biomedcentral.com)

- This post-translational modification on lysine residues of proteins plays a crucial role in a number of cellular processes such as nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis and signal transduction. (nih.gov)
- We examined the evidence supporting the roles of the three major epigenetic mechanisms-DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNA (miRNA) expression-in arsenic toxicity and, in particular, carcinogenicity. (nih.gov)

- One of the most studied mechanisms, DNA methylation within the human methylome, may provide a potential epigenetic signature for migraine. (lidsen.com)
