Fig. 1 Epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression. The mammalian genome is packaged in the nucleus via wrapping of DNA around histones, forming a structure known as chromatin. The on and off state of gene expression is regulated by DNA methylation, post-translational modifications of various residues within histone tails, and non-coding RNAs.

Fig. 2 Enzymes that control histone lysine methylation and acetylation are targets for numerous drugs that are being developed or already used clinically. HDAC, histone deacetylase; HAT, histone acetyltransferase; KMT, histone lysine methyltransferas; KDM, histone lysine demethylase.
