PR-Set7-dependent methylation of histone H4 Lys 20 functions in repression of gene expression and is essential for mitosis

The histone methyl transferase PR-Set7 mediates histone H4 Lys 20 methylation, a mark of constitutive and facultative heterochromatin. We isolated a null mutation in Drosophila PR-Set7 that suppresses position effect variegation, indicating that PR-Set7 indeed functions in silencing general gene exp...
