    Laboratory of Chromatin Biology, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021, USA
    Genes Dev 21:1530-45. 2007
    ..These studies provide a framework for an RNAi-dependent, Polycomb group protein-mediated heterochromatin formation pathway in Tetrahymena and underscore the connection between the two highly conserved machineries in eukaryotes...
  4. ncbi Long-distance combinatorial linkage between methylation and acetylation on histone H3 N termini
    Sean D Taverna
    Laboratory of Chromatin Biology, The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:2086-91. 2007
    ..This methodology is applicable to other histones and larger polypeptides and will likely be a valuable tool in understanding the roles of combinatorial patterns of PTMs...
  5. ncbi Yng1 PHD finger binding to H3 trimethylated at K4 promotes NuA3 HAT activity at K14 of H3 and transcription at a subset of targeted ORFs
    Sean D Taverna
    Laboratory of Chromatin Biology, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021, USA
    Mol Cell 24:785-96. 2006
    ..Our data support a general mechanism of transcriptional control through which histone acetylation upstream of gene activation is promoted partially through availability of H3K4me3, "read" by binding modules in select subunits...

    Angeline Gradolatto
    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR 72205, USA
    Genetics 179:291-304. 2008
    ..Our work suggests a mechanism in which Yta7 is localized to chromatin to establish regions of transcriptional silencing, and that one facet of this cellular mechanism is to modulate transcription of histone genes...
