Histone methyltransferase Smyd1 regulates mitochondrial energetics in the heart [Systems Biology]

Smyd1, a muscle-specific histone methyltransferase, has established roles in skeletal and cardiac muscle development, but its role in the adult heart remains poorly understood. Our prior work demonstrated that cardiac-specific deletion of Smyd1 in adult mice (Smyd1-KO) leads to hypertrophy and heart failure. Here we show that down-regulation of mitochondrial...
