Chemical Cryptology of Cancer’s Histone Code

摘要

Somatic mutations in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma frequently activate EZH2, a protein methyltransferase responsible for H3K27 trimethylation. In this issue of Chemistry and Biology, Bradley and coworkers describe a new set of EZH2 inhibitors amenable to probing the targetable role of H3K27 trimethylation in lymphoma.
