Cellular functions including transcription regulation, DNA repair, and DNA replication need to be tightly regulated. DNA sequence can contribute to the regulation of these mechanisms. This is exemplified by the consensus sequences that allow the binding of specific transcription factors, thus regulating transcription rates. Another layer of regulation resides in modifications that do not affect the DNA sequence itself but still results in the modification of chromatin structure and properties, thus affecting the readout of the underlying DNA sequence. These modifications are dubbed as "epigenetic modifications" and include, among others, histone modifications, DNA methylation, and small RNAs. While these events can independently regulate cellular mechanisms, recent studies indicate that joint activities of different epigenetic modifications could result in a common outcome. In this chapter, I will attempt to recapitulate the best known examples of collaborative activities between epigenetic modifications. I will emphasize mostly on the effect of crosstalks between epigenetic modifications on transcription regulation, simply because it is the most exposed and studied aspect of epigenetic interactions. I will also summarize the effect of epigenetic interactions on DNA damage response and DNA repair. The involvement of epigenetic crosstalks in cancer formation, progression, and treatment will be emphasized throughout the manuscript.
