Bifaceted functions of histone methyltransferases.
In this perspective, Akhtar et al provide a brief overview of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) and SET and MYND-domain containing 3 (SMYD3) as histone methyltransferases that function both as activators and repressors of gene transcription in cancer. The importance of deciphering the mechanisms underlying this bifaceted function toward thoughtful pharmacologic interventions is underlined and protein or mRNA degradation are highlighted as the most biologically rational pharmaceutical platforms to target these bifaceted histone methyltransferases.
期刊介绍:
Epigenomics provides the forum to address the rapidly progressing research developments in this ever-expanding field; to report on the major challenges ahead and critical advances that are propelling the science forward. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats – invaluable to a time constrained community.
Substantial developments in our current knowledge and understanding of genomics and epigenetics are constantly being made, yet this field is still in its infancy. Epigenomics provides a critical overview of the latest and most significant advances as they unfold and explores their potential application in the clinical setting.
