Histone methylation is the modification of certain amino acids in a histone protein by the addition of one, two, or three methyl groups. In the cell nucleus, DNA is wound around histones. Methylation and demethylation of histones turns the genes in DNA off and on , respectively, either by loosening their tails, thus, allowing transcription factors and other proteins to access the DNA or by encompassing their tails around the DNA, thus, restricting access to the DNA. This is true in most cases. Function This modification alters the properties of the nucleosome and affects its interactions with other proteins. Histone methylation is generally associated with transcriptional Repressor repression . However, methylation of some lysine and arginine residues of histones results in transcriptional activation. Examples include methylation of lysine 4 of histone 3 H3K4 , and arginine R residues on H3 and Histone H4 H4 .

Technical date May 2010 RNA directed DNA methylation RdDM is an epigenetics epigenetic process first elucidated in plants whereby small double stranded RNA s dsRNA s are processed to guide methylation to complementary DNA locus genetics loci . In the model plant organism Arabidopsis thaliana , these small dsRNA s may be generated from three sources Viral replication intermediates Products of the endogenous RNA dependent RNA polymerase Transcribed inverted repeats These dsRNAs are then processed to direct histone 3 lysine 9 H3K9 methylation via Ago4 and the SUVH Suppressor of Variegation Homolog histone methyltransferase family. This H3K9 dimethylation is then putatively bound by the cytosine methyltransferase CMT3, which methylates cytosines in a non CG context. These marks, H3K9 dimethylation and cytosine methylation, are canonical marks of gene silencing . Thus small double stranded RNAs generated in diverse contexts bring about transcriptional silencing at specific loci.

Transmethylation is a biologically important organic chemical reaction in which a methyl group is transferred from one compound to another. An example of transmethylation is the recovery of methionine from homocysteine . In order to sustain sufficient reaction rates during metabolic stress, this reaction requires adequate levels of vitamin B sub 12 sub and folic acid. Methyl tetrahydrofolate delivers methyl groups to form the active methyl form of vitamin B sub 12 sub that is required for methylation of homocysteine. Deficiencies of vitamin B sub 12 sub or folic acid cause increased levels of circulatiing homocysteine. Elevated homocysteine is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is linked to the metabolic syndrome insulin insensitivity . Transmethylation is decreased sometimes in children with autism.

Image Nucleosome.jpg thumb Nucleosome Image Acetyl.png thumb Chemical structure of an acetyl group bound to the remainder R of a molecule. In histone acetylation and deacetylation , the histones are acetylate d and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N terminal tail and on the surface of the nucleosome core as part of gene regulation . Typically, these reactions are catalyzed by enzyme s with histone acetyltransferase HAT or histone deacetylase HDAC activity. The source of the acetyl group in histone acetylation is Acetyl Coenzyme A , and in histone deacetylation the acetyl group is transferred to Coenzyme A. Acetylated histones and nucleosomes represent a type of epigenetic tag within chromatin . Acetylation brings in a negative charge, acting to neutralize the positive charge on the histones and decreases the interaction of the N termini of histones with the negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA . As a consequence, the condensed chromatin is transformed into a more relaxed structure which is associated with greater levels of gene transcription. This relaxation can be reversed by HDAC activity. Relaxed, transcriptionally active DNA is referred to as euchromatin . More condensed tightly packed DNA is referred to as heterochromatin . Condensation can be brought about by processes including deacetylation and methylation the action of methylation is indirect and has no effect upon charge. This charge neutralization model has been challenged by recent studies, according to which transcriptionally active genes are correlated with rapid turnover of histone acetylation. This requires that the HATs and HDACs must act continuously on the affected histone tail. Methylation at a specific lysine residue K4 is involved in targeting histone tails for continuous acetylation and deacetylation.
