Supplementary information

The K27 target also known as lysine 27 specifically refers to the residue on histone H3 where methylation occurs playing an important role in chromatin structure. Histone H3 is approximately 15 kDa. K27 methylation takes place in the cell nucleus and its levels are regulated by enzymes such as EZH2 which is a part of the polycomb group proteins. This modification affects gene expression by altering chromatin accessibility silencing or activating different genes based on methylation state.
Biological function summary

K27 methylation is involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin dynamics. It is an important component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) which provides transcriptional repression of genes through methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). This form of regulation is essential in maintaining the repressed state of developmentally regulated genes and in stem cell pluripotency. The dynamic balance between methylation and demethylation allows cells to respond to developmental cues and environmental changes.

Pathways

K27 methylation is essential in the polycomb pathway involved in regulating gene expression patterns during development. This pathway provides histone modifications that result in epigenetic memory. The K27 residue interacts with proteins like Suz12 and EED within the PRC2 complex facilitating this gene repression. Additionally the K27 methylation interplays with the Trithorax pathway which has opposing functions and promotes gene activation showing the duality of gene regulation.

Aberrant regulation of K27 methylation can contribute to various forms of cancer such as breast and prostate cancer. Increased EZH2 activity which catalyzes H3K27me3 is often associated with these cancers due to inappropriate gene silencing. The dysregulation of K27 methylation might also link to PRC2 components like Suz12 making it a target for potential therapeutic interventions.
