Deskripsi

Post-translational modifications (PTM) of histones are important for epigenetic regulation in mammals. Here, Cheeseman et al. report dynamic changes in H3K18 PTM during the differentiation stages of Theileria parasites and they identify a SET-domain methyltransferase (TaSETup1) as the relevant enzyme promoting this modification.
