Methylation of histone H3 by COMPASS requires ubiquitination of XXXX by @entity11024 .

The DNA of eukaryotes is wrapped around nucleosomes and packaged into chromatin. Covalent modifications of the histone proteins that comprise the nucleosome alter chromatin structure and have major effects on gene expression. Methylation of @entity376 4 of histone H3 by COMPASS is required for silencing of genes located near chromosome telomeres and within the rDNA (Krogan, N. J, Dover, J., Khorrami, S., Greenblatt, J. F., Schneider, J., Johnston, M., and Shilatifard, A. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 10753-10755; Briggs, S. D., Bryk, M., Strahl, B. D., Cheung, W. L., Davie, J. K., Dent, S. Y., Winston, F., and Allis, C. D. (2001) Genes. Dev. 15, 3286-3295). To learn about the mechanism of histone methylation, we surveyed the genome of the @entity375 @entity375 for genes necessary for this process. By analyzing approximately 4800 mutant strains, each deleted for a different non-essential gene, we discovered that the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme @entity11024 is required for methylation of @entity376 4 of histone H3. Ubiquitination of @entity36999 on @entity376 123 is the signal for the methylation of histone H3, which leads to silencing of genes located near telomeres.
