Methylation of DNA at cytosine residues as well as
post-translational modifications of histones, including
phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation and ubiquitylation,
contribute to the epigenetic information carried by chromatin.
These changes play an important role in the regulation of gene
expression by modulating the access of regulatory factors to the
DNA. The use of a combination of biochemical, genetic and
structural approaches has allowed demonstration of the role of
chromatin structure in transcriptional control. The structure of
nucleosomes has been elucidated and enzymes involved in DNA or
histone modifications have been extensively characterized. Since
deregulation of epigenetic marks has been reported in many cancers,
a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms bears
the promise that new drug targets may soon be found. The newest
developments in this quickly developing field are presented in this
book.
