Six for the price of one: From a single precursor, dehydroalanine, six distinct post-translational modifications can be site-selectively installed on histone proteins (see figure), including the first site-selective phosphorylation and glycosylation of histones. Direct observation of histone deacetylase activity on a full-length modified histone as well as its interactions with both chromatin reader and writer/eraser proteins are reported.
