Interpreting the language of histone and DNA modifications

SB Rothbart, BD Strahl - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Gene …, 2014 - Elsevier
A major mechanism regulating the accessibility and function of eukaryotic genomes are the
covalent modifications to DNA and histone proteins that dependably package our genetic …

Association of UHRF1 with methylated H3K9 directs the maintenance of DNA methylation

SB Rothbart, K Krajewski, N Nady, W Tempel… - Nature structural & …, 2012 - nature.com
A fundamental challenge in mammalian biology has been the elucidation of mechanisms
linking DNA methylation and histone post-translational modifications. Human UHRF1 (ubiquitin…

Multivalent histone engagement by the linked tandem Tudor and PHD domains of UHRF1 is required for the epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation

SB Rothbart, BM Dickson, MS Ong… - Genes & …, 2013 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Histone post-translational modifications regulate chromatin structure and function largely
through interactions with effector proteins that often contain multiple histone-binding domains. …

A DNA methylation reader complex that enhances gene transcription

…, M Groth, Z Wang, JA Wohlschlegel, J Du, SB Rothbart… - Science, 2018 - science.org
DNA methylation generally functions as a repressive transcriptional signal, but it is also
known to activate gene expression. In either case, the downstream factors remain largely …

[PDF][PDF] A histone methylation network regulates transgenerational epigenetic memory in C. elegans

…, E Brookes, R Spadafora, Y Zhu, SB Rothbart… - Cell reports, 2014 - cell.com
