Dynamic changes in histone-methylation 'marks' across the locus encoding interferon-γ during the differentiation of T helper type 2 cells
Abstract
The 'histone-code' hypothesis proposes that cell fate 'decisions' are achieved through the creation of stable epigenetic histone 'marks' at gene loci. Here we explored the formation of marks of repressive methylation of histone 3 at lysine 9 (H3-K9) and of H3-K27 at the locus encoding interferon-gamma (Ifng locus) during the commitment of naive T cells to the T helper type 1 (TH1) and TH2 lineages. Methylation of H3-K9 across the Ifng locus was rapidly induced in differentiating TH1 and TH2 cells and was sustained in TH1 cells. In contrast, TH2 differentiation caused loss of methylation of H3-K9 and gain of methylation of H3-K27 by mechanisms dependent on the transcription factors GATA-3 and STAT6. Thus, histone-methylation marks at the Ifng locus are highly dynamic, which may ensure higher-order transcriptional regulation during early lineage commitment.

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.
