  1. EZH2 (PRC2) trimethylates H3K27 → PRC1 recruitment → chromatin compaction → transcriptional silencing.

    Elegant at the mechanistic level. Consequential at the organismal level — elevated EZH2 activity shortens lifespan in model organisms, likely via progressive silencing of stress-response loci.

    The SET domain may be one of the most underrated targets in aging biology.

  2. A #cryoem model of the RSF–NCP complex reveals distinct binding characteristics compared with the SNF2h–NCP complex and biochemical analyses indicate that RSF possesses unique chromatin-remodeling properties #ChromatinRemodeling #RSF #Nucleosome t.co/ZP6ZglquKq
