Excited to share a new study 📑 led by myself and @benjaminweekley.bsky.social! We identify KMT2E, a novel reader of histone serotonylation. KMT2E loss causes the rare monogenic 🧬 ODLURO syndrome and disrupts chromatin dynamics during 🧠 development. Check out here! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

KMT2E recruitment by H3 serotonylation regulates neurodevelopmental chromatin dynamics
Histone H3 Gln 5 serotonylation (H3Q5ser) is a recently identified epigenetic modification in brain that modulates reader interactions with adjacent H3 Lys 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) to promote transc...

Bummer that @zachtpennington.bsky.social is missing #ACNP2024 due to stomach flu. But be sure to check out his discovery about how the anterior hypothalamus codes stress 👇 This is one of the most important, surprising, and exciting findings I've been a part of!
