CTCF regulates the human p53 gene through direct interaction with its natural antisense transcript, Wrap53.
The multifunctional CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) protein exhibits a broad range of functions, including that of insulator and higher-order chromatin organizer. We found that CTCF comprises a previously unrecognized region that is necessary and sufficient to bind RNA (RNA-binding region [RBR]) and is distinct from its DNA-binding domain. Depletion of cellular CTCF led to a decrease in not only le...
متن کاملWrap53, a Natural p53 Antisense Transcript Required for p53 Induction upon DNA Damage.
Antisense transcription is a widespread phenomenon in the mammalian genome. It is thought to play a role in regulation of gene expression, but its exact functional significance is largely unknown. We have identified a natural antisense transcript of p53, designated Wrap53, that regulates endogenous p53 mRNA levels and further induction of p53 protein by targeting the 5' untranslated region of p...
متن کاملA natural antisense transcript, BOKAS, regulates the pro-apoptotic activity of human Bok.
Bok is a proapoptotic member in the Bcl-2 family and the expression of Bok is regulated by cellular stresses. In the present study, we have isolated and characterized a natural antisense transcript of Bok, BOKAS. The BOKAS gene consists of 2 exons, that expresses as a non-protein coding transcript. Both BOKAS and Bok are transcribed from the same locus but in opposite orientations. The mRNA exp...
متن کاملNatural Antisense Transcript: A Concomitant Engagement with Protein-Coding Transcript
The vertebrate genome contains large spans of non-coding RNA, which for the most part were considered of little functional value to the organism. Recent studies have indicated that vertebrate genomes may have stored hidden secrets in this large span of non-coding RNA, which we refer to here as "Natural Antisense Transcripts (NATs)." NATs can be found in introns, exons, promoters, enhancers, int...
متن کاملDDX31 regulates the p53-HDM2 pathway and rRNA gene transcription through its interaction with NPM1 in renal cell carcinomas.
Studies of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have led to the development of new molecular-targeted drugs but its oncogenic origins remain poorly understood. Here, we report the identification and critical roles in renal carcinogenesis for DDX31, a novel nucleolar protein upregulated in the vast majority of human RCC. Immunohistochemical overexpression of DDX31 was an independent prognostic factor for ...
