IFN-γ Induces Histone 3 Lysine 27 Trimethylation in a Small Subset of Promoters to Stably Silence Gene Expression in Human Macrophages

The mechanisms by which IFN-γ activates expression of interferon-stimulated genes that have inflammatory and host defense functions are well understood. In contrast, little is known about how IFN-γ represses gene expression. By using transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis, we found that stable repre...
