Post-translational modifications of histones, such as acetylation and methylation, have a pivotal role in regulating gene expression and cell growth. To elucidate the different roles and importance of H3K4 and H3K36 modifications in expression of inducible genes such as Cal1, SSA3, PHO5 and the growth of yeast cell, we constructed three different yeast mutant strains carrying mutations of lysine 4, 36, or both to leucine in the histone H3 tail. Real-time PCR and sensi-tive assay under the conditions of high...
