A Drosophila screen identifies a role for histone methylation in ER stress preconditioning.

knockdown flies demonstrated that Set1, a histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferase enzyme, is critical for the proper expression of a subset of ER stress genes during preconditioning. Our data indicate that Set1 likely aids in creating a transient transcriptional 'memory' following initial stress that impacts the response to subsequent stress.
