Abstract

Summary Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes to the transcriptome that are independent on changes in the genome. The biochemical principles that govern epigenetic modifications are DNA methylation and posttranslational modifications of histones, amongst which acetylation/deacetylation and methylation/demethylation of lysine residues are the most widely studied. Such epigenetic changes are involved in many physiological and pathological processes. This essay will focus on the biology of histone methylation and demethylation reactions, highlighting how these reactions depend on “metabolic” cofactors like S-Adenosylmethionine, Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide and α-ketoglutarate. Furthermore, we will illustrate that the absence of lysine methyltranferases and demethylases can lead to altered metabolic homeostasis. Altogether, this provides preliminary evidence that lysine methyltranferases and demethylases could act as molecular transducers of metabolic signals to chromatin, and sets the stage for further research into this area to consolidate these enticing initial observations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
