Dynamic Changes in Histone H3 Lysine 9 Methylations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Histone methylation is unique among post-translational histone modifications by virtue of its stability. It is thought to be a relatively stable and heritable epigenetic mark for gene-specific regulation. In this study, we use quantitative in situ approaches to investigate the cell cycle dynamics of methylated isoforms of histone H3 lysine 9. Contrary to the expected stability of trimethylated lysines, our results for trimethylated lysine 9 (tMeK9) of H3 demonstrate that the genomic content of this methylation undergoes significant changes as cells progress through mitosis. Unexpectedly, there is a loss of tMeK9 that appears to reflect a robust demethylase activity that is active during the period between anaphase and cytokinesis. Subsequent investigations of mitoses in tMeK9-deficient cells revealed defects in chromosome congression and segregation that are distinct from the increased cohesion at centromeres previously reported in association with the loss of tMeK9. Collectively, these results identify a mitosis-specific trimethylation of Lys9 in pericentromeric heterochromatin that functions in the faithful segregation of chromosomes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
