Epigenetic regulation of starvation-induced autophagy in Drosophila by histone methyltransferase G9a

Abstract Epigenetics is now emerging as a key regulation in response to various stresses. We herein identified the Drosophila histone methyltransferase G9a (dG9a) as a key factor to acquire tolerance to starvation stress. The depletion of dG9a led to high sensitivity to starvation stress in adult fl...
