Model for maintaining stable on–off states. Positive-feedback loops for the on and off states involve the preferential recognition of chromatin with hypomethylated H3-K79 by Sir proteins and inhibition of Dot1-mediated methylation of H3-K79 by bound Sir proteins. Stochastic events that affect either Sir protein association or H3-K79 methylation can lead to switching between the two states.
