      Arginine methylation at histone H3R2 controls deposition of H3K4 trimethylation 

      Kirmizis, Antonis; Santos-Rosa, H.; Penkett, C. J.; Singer, M. A.; Vermeulen, M.; Mann, M.; Bähler, J.; Green, R. D.; Kouzarides, T. (2007)
      Modifications on histones control important biological processes through their effects on chromatin structure. Methylation at lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4) is found at the 5′ end of active genes and contributes to ...

      Distinct transcriptional outputs associated with mono- and dimethylated histone H3 arginine 2 

      Kirmizis, Antonis; Santos-Rosa, H.; Penkett, C. J.; Singer, M. A.; Green, R. D.; Kouzarides, T. (2009)
      Dimethylation of histone H3 Arg2 (H3R2me2) maintains transcriptional silencing by inhibiting Set1 mediated trimethylation of H3K4. Here we demonstrate that Arg2 is also monomethylated (H3R2me1) in yeast but that its ...

      Histone H3 tail clipping regulates gene expression 

      Santos-Rosa, H.; Kirmizis, Antonis; Nelson, C.; Bartke, T.; Saksouk, N.; Cote, J.; Kouzarides, T. (2009)
      Induction of gene expression in yeast and human cells involves changes in the histone modifications associated with promoters. Here we identify a histone H3 endopeptidase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that may ...
