Abstract

Dot1/DOT1L catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79), which regulates diverse cellular processes, such as development, reprogramming, differentiation, and proliferation. In regards to these processes, studies of Dot1/DOT1L-dependent H3K79 methylation have mainly focused on the transcriptional regulation of specific genes. Although the gene transcription mediated by Dot1/DOT1L during the cell cycle is not fully understood, H3K79 methylation plays a critical role in the progression of G 1 phase, S phase, mitosis, and meiosis. This modification may contribute to the chromatin structure that controls gene expression, replication initiation, DNA damage response, microtubule reorganization, chromosome segregation, and heterochromatin formation. Overall, Dot1/DOT1L is required to maintain genomic and chromosomal stability. This review summarizes the several functions of Dot1/DOT1L and highlights its role in cell cycle regulation.

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.
