Abstract

Genetic evidence on the role of specific histone amino acids or their posttranslational modifications in metazoan development has been lacking. A recent study reports that fruit flies carrying histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) mutations have the same homeotic gene expression and developmental defects as mutations in the enzyme that trimethylates H3K27.
