EZH2-induced lysine K362 methylation enhances TMPRSS2-ERG oncogenic activity in prostate cancer

Although the TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion is the most common alteration in human prostate cancer, its involvement in disease progression remains unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate that ERG is methylated by Enhancer of zest homolog 2 leading to enhanced transcriptional and oncogenic activity.
