      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 ...

      Loss of Nat4 and its associated histone H4 N-terminal acetylation mediates calorie restriction-induced longevity 

      Molina-Serrano, D.; Schiza, V.; Demosthenous, Christis; Stavrou, Emmanouil; Oppelt, J.; Kyriakou, DImitris; Liu, W.; Zisser, G.; Bergler, H.; Dang, W.; Kirmizis, Antonis (2016)
      Changes in histone modifications are an attractive model through which environmental signals, such as diet, could be integrated in the cell for regulating its lifespan. However, evidence linking dietary interventions with ...
