Structural and functional analysis of SET8, a histone H4 Lys-20 methyltransferase.

abstract：:For a number of human genes that encode transcripts containing inverted repeat Alu elements (IRAlus) within their 3' untranslated region (UTR), product mRNA is efficiently exported to the cytoplasm when the IRAlus, which mediate nuclear retention, are removed by alternative polyadenylation. Here we report a new mechan...
