It is concluded that 2b blocks AGO1 cleavage activity to inhibit miRNA pathways, attenuate RNA silencing, and counter host defense, providing insight on the molecular arms race between host antiviral RNAsilencing and virus counterdefense.

It is shown that a poorly characterized methyltransferase, CMT2, is a functional methyl transferase in vitro and in vivo and suggest that non-CG methylation patterns are critical in shaping the landscapes of histone modification and small noncoding RNA.

It is demonstrated that the first small-molecule catalytic site inhibitor that is selective for the H3K27me3-specific JMJ subfamily binds in a novel manner and reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced proinflammatory cytokine production by human primary macrophages, a process that depends on both JMJD3 and UTX.

Key features in molecular recognition of histone PTMs by a diverse family of 'reader pockets', highlighting specific readout mechanisms for individual marks, common themes and insights into the downstream functional consequences of the interactions are summarized.
Molecular basis for site-specific read-out of histone H3K4me3 by the BPTF PHD finger of NURF
The molecular basis for specific recognition of H3(1–15)K4me3 by a plant homeodomains (PHD) finger of human BPTF (bromodomain and PHD domain transcription factor) is demonstrated and key specificity-determining residues from binding studies are identified.

Consistent with the geometry of the ternary complex, bulges residing in the seed segments of the target, but not the guide strand, were better accommodated and their complexes were catalytically active.
Multivalent engagement of chromatin modifications by linked binding modules

It is proposed that multivalent interactions on a single histone tail and beyond may have a significant, if not dominant, role in chromatin transactions.
Nucleation, propagation and cleavage of target RNAs in Ago silencing complexes
