Abstract

Background: G9a-GLP lysine methyltransferases mono- and di-methylate histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me2).Results: Widely interspaced zinc finger (WIZ) regulates H3K9me2 levels through a mechanism that involves retention of G9a on chromatin.Conclusion: The G9a-GLP-WIZ complex has unique functions when bound to chromatin that are independent of the H3K9me2 mark.Significance: Combining pharmacologic and genetic manipulations is essential to any translational hypotheses related to G9a function.
