DNMT1 reads heterochromatic H4K20me3 to reinforce LINE-1 DNA methylation

How histone modifications crosstalk with DNA methylation to regulate epigenomic patterning and genome stability in mammals remains elusive. Here, the authors show that DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 is a reader for histone H4K20 trimethylation via its BAH1 domain, which leads to optimal maintenance of...
