We previously discovered that the ubiquitin protease Ubp10/Dot4p is important for telomeric silencing through its interaction with Sir4p. However, the mechanism of Ubp10p action was unknown. We now provide evidence that Ubp10p removes ubiquitin from histone H2B; cells with UBP10 deleted have increased steady-state levels of H2B ubiquitination. As a consequence, ubp10delta cells also have increased steady-state levels of histone H3 Lys4 and Lys79 methylation. Consistent with its role in silencing ...[more]
