摘要
Histone methylation plays a fundamental role in regulating diverse developmental processes and is also involved in silencing repetitive sequences in order to maintain genome stability. The methylation marks are written on lysine or arginine by distinct enzymes, namely, histone lysine methyltransferases (HKMTs) or protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). Once established, the methylation marks are specifically recognized by the proteins that act as readers and are interpreted into specific biological outcomes. Histone methylation status is dynamic; methylation marks can be removed by eraser enzymes, the histone demethylases (HDMs). The proteins responsible for writing, reading, and erasing the methylation marks are known mostly in animals. During the past several years, a growing body of literature has demonstrated the impact of histone methylation on genome management, transcriptional regulation, and development in plants. The aim of this review is to summarize the biochemical, genetic, and molecular action of histone methylation in two plants, the dicot Arabidopsis and the monocot rice.

高等植物中的组蛋白甲基化研究

向大家介绍一篇综述文章。遗传所曹晓风研究员的综述文章，详细介绍了近些年来拟南芥和水稻中组蛋白甲基化的研究进展。将参与组蛋白甲基化作用过程的蛋白质分为三类（writer——甲基化酶，reader——识别甲基化标记的蛋白质或复合体，eraser——去甲基化酶），并且分别作了详细的介绍，文中还有高等植物和哺乳动物（以及酵母）在组蛋白甲基化方面的不同之处的比较。
