Histone modification in the sams mutant.
S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a donor of the methyl group for methyltransferases. SAM synthase (SAMS) creates SAM from methionine and ATP. In C. elegans, the smas genes are essential for normal development. In this project, we are going to elucidate effects of sams mutations on histone methylation.
