Identification of a functional hotspot on ubiquitin required for stimulation of methyltransferase activity on chromatin.

abstract：:The simple yet powerful technique of induced pluripotency may eventually supply a wide range of differentiated cells for cell therapy and drug development. However, making the appropriate cells via induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) requires reprogramming of somatic cells and subsequent redifferentiation. Given ho...
