Figure 4

Histone methylation establishment, maintenance, and interactions. The mutually antagonistic relationships between histone H3 methylation on Lysines 4, 9, 27 and 36 are shown. The antagonism (red) between H3K36 and H3K27 methylation has been observed in Caenorhabditis elegans; the antagonism between H3K4 methylation and H3K9/H3K27 methylation has been observed in multiple organisms and is assumed to occur in C. elegans (for example, [37]). Straight green arrows indicate mechanisms known or suspected to establish each modification; curved green arrows indicate mechanisms known or suspected to maintain each modification.
