Thanks Genes & Development for using our work of TGF-β induced MLL4 recruitment as cover page 📓🧬. We reveal a novel role for the histone methyltransferase MLL4 (KMT2D) in transcriptional responses to TGF-β. We show that MLL4 is recruited to TGF-β target genes including JUNB while TGF-β treatment.

We are looking for someone to lead the new Facility for Protein Biochemistry & Biophysics at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg — please spread the word and apply if you are interested!
