In eukaryotes, gene expression partly relies on chromatin compaction degree. Chromatin status is controlled by epigenetic marks, such as histones (chromatin structural proteins) posttranslational modifications. As an example, histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation on gene promoters is mainly associated with transcriptional repression. H3K9 is methylated by several enzymes called lysine methyltransferases (KMTs). The aim of my thesis project was to understand the role of the H3K9 KMTs, G9a, GLP, Suv39h1 and SETDB1 in regulating the balance between proliferation and terminal differentiation. For this purpose, I used skeletal muscle terminal differentiation as model. Upon muscle terminal differentiation, myoblasts exit, in an irreversible way,...
