H3K27me1 is essential for MMP-9-dependent H3N-terminal tail proteolysis during osteoclastogenesis
Abstract Background MMP-9 plays a direct role in the activation of pro-osteoclastogenic genes by cleaving histone H3N-terminal tail (H3NT) and altering chromatin architecture. Although H3 acetylation at K18 has been shown to stimulate MMP-9 enzymatic activity toward H3NT, nothing is known about the...
