An H3K9 methylation-dependent protein interaction regulates the non-enzymatic functions of a putative histone demethylase
H3K9 methylation (H3K9me) specifies the establishment and maintenance of transcriptionally silent epigenetic states or heterochromatin. The enzymatic erasure of histone modifications is widely assumed to be the primary mechanism that reverses epigenetic silencing. Here, we reveal an inversion of thi...
