Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030 modifications influence transcription by affecting chromatin The aim of this study was to identify in human cells 9 9 common targets of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3-Lys ) methy- structure. Recent studies have shown that methylation at Lys lation, a modification that is generally associated with on histone H3 is a marker of heterochromatin and is specifi- gene silencing. After chromatin immunoprecipitation cally associated with inactivation of gene expression (5).
