Ans:
Demethylation
Methylation (in case of dimethylation at lysine 9 and 27 on H3 inactive transcription)
Explanation: Histone methylation and demethylation are the mechanism by which methyl groups are added or removed from the histone by the enzymes histone methyl transferase (HMT) and histone demethylase. Methylation and demethylation activate or inactivate transcription depending on which amino acids are methylated or demethylated. Histone methylation in some lysine residues (lysine residues in 9th and 27 position) act as signal for transcription inactivation whereas histone methylation in lysine 4 in histone 3 and and arginine residues in on H3 and H4 activates transcription. Acetylation and phosphorylation are mechanisms by which acetyl and phosphate group are added into the histone by the enzyme histone acetyl transferases (HATs) and kinase and promote transcription activation.

In contrast to histone acetylation, which always correlates with gene activation, histone methylation can lead to either transcriptional activation or repression. How do you suppose that the same modification - methylation - can mediate different biological outcomes? Explain what is meant when we say two DNA sequences are 'highly conserved'. Why are some sequences conserved and others aren't? In your own words, explain what is meant by "position effect". What is the molecular basis of this phenomenon?
