Abstract

Read online

Histone mark reader proteins bind to particular histone modifications and regulate chromatin state. Here, Qian et al. show that the SHORT LIFE reader has a unique ability to recognize both activating and repressive histone marks and that these interactions enable SHORT LIFE to repress flowering in plants.
