Methyl magic and HAT tricks

Robert N. Dutnall1 & John M. Denu2

1  Robert N. Dutnall is in the Section of Molecular Biology, Division of Biological Sciences, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093-0347, USA. rdutnall@biomail.ucsd.edu

2  John M. Denu is in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, Oregon 97201, USA.

The structures of four lysine methyltransferases give us the first glimpse of the molecular architecture responsible for histone/protein lysine methylation, whereas a recent study of the Esa1 histone acetyltransferase suggests that lysine acetyltransferases still have surprises in store.
