A comprehensive library of histone mutants identifies nucleosomal residues required for H3K4 methylation
Open accessAbstract
Methylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by yeast Set1-COMPASS requires prior monoubiquitination of histone H2B. To define whether other residues within the histones are also required for H3K4 methylation, we systematically generated a complete library of the alanine substitutions of all of the residues of the four core histones in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. From this study we discovered that 18 residues within the four histones are essential for viability on complete growth media. We also identified several cis-regulatory residues on the histone H3 N-terminal tail, including histone H3 lysine 14 (H3K14), which are required for normal levels of H3K4 trimethylation. Several previously uncharacterized trans-regulatory residues on histones H2A and H2B form a patch on nucleosomes and are required for methylation mediated by COMPASS. This library will be a valuable tool for defining the role of histone residues in processes requiring chromatin.

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.
