A Transcriptionally Inactive ATF2 Variant Drives Melanomagenesis.
Melanoma is one of the most lethal cutaneous malignancies, characterized by chemoresistance and a striking propensity to metastasize. The transcription factor ATF2 elicits oncogenic activities in melanoma, and its inhibition attenuates melanoma development. Here, we show that expression of a transcriptionally inactive form of Atf2 (Atf2(Δ8,9)) promotes development of melanoma in mouse models. A...
متن کاملOrganization of Transcriptionally Active and Inactive Chromatin
Der Aufbau des Nukleosoms als Grundbaustein des Chromatins der Eukaryontenzelle, mit Ausnahme des Dinoflagellaten-Zellkerns, wird biochemisch und elektronenmikroskopisch vorgestellt als eine Einheit eines Oktamers aus Histonen (2 X H2A, 2XH2B, 2X H3, 2X H4) und einem Betrag von etwa 150 Basenpaaren DNA. Diese Partikel sind durch einen Zwischenbereich von weiteren etwa 50 Basenpaaren DNA verbund...
متن کاملCharacterisation of transcriptionally active and inactive chromatin domains in neurons.
The tandemly organised ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats are transcribed by a dedicated RNA polymerase in a specialised nuclear compartment, the nucleolus. There appears to be an intimate link between the maintenance of nucleolar structure and the presence of heterochromatic chromatin domains. This is particularly evident in many large neurons, where a single nucleolus is present, which is separated...
متن کاملp53Ψ is a transcriptionally inactive p53 isoform able to reprogram cells toward a metastatic-like state.
Although much is known about the underlying mechanisms of p53 activity and regulation, the factors that influence the diversity and duration of p53 responses are not well understood. Here we describe a unique mode of p53 regulation involving alternative splicing of the TP53 gene. We found that the use of an alternative 3' splice site in intron 6 generates a unique p53 isoform, dubbed p53Ψ. At t...
متن کاملA Role for ATF2 in Regulating MITF and Melanoma Development
The transcription factor ATF2 has been shown to attenuate melanoma susceptibility to apoptosis and to promote its ability to form tumors in xenograft models. To directly assess ATF2's role in melanoma development, we crossed a mouse melanoma model (Nras(Q61K)::Ink4a⁻/⁻) with mice expressing a transcriptionally inactive form of ATF2 in melanocytes. In contrast to 7/21 of the Nras(Q61K)::Ink4a⁻/⁻...
