Non-histone nuclear proteins as gene regulators?
ALEXANDER J. MAcGILLIVRAY* Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, Wolfson Laboratory for Molecular Pathology, Garscube Estate, Switchback Road, Bearsden, Clasgow G61 1 BD, Scotland, U.K. One of the most intriguing problems in molecular biology today concerns the mechanisms whereby control is exerted over the expression of specific genes. The situation in prokaryotes has been well elucidated, wi...
متن کاملTranscription: Gene control by targeted histone acetylation
A transcriptional regulator in yeast, Gcn5p, activates transcription by targeted acetylation of specific lysine residues in the amino-terminal tails of histones. This targeted modification is restricted to nucleosomes assembled on the promoters of Gcn5p-responsive genes.
متن کاملdCas9-based epigenome editing suggests acquisition of histone methylation is not sufficient for target gene repression
Distinct epigenomic profiles of histone marks have been associated with gene expression, but questions regarding the causal relationship remain. Here we investigated the activity of a broad collection of genomically targeted epigenetic regulators that could write epigenetic marks associated with a repressed chromatin state (G9A, SUV39H1, Krüppel-associated box (KRAB), DNMT3A as well as the firs...
متن کاملCrosstalk between histone modifications maintains the developmental pattern of gene expression on a tissue-specific locus.
Genome wide studies have provided a wealth of information related to histone modifications. Particular modifications, which can encompass both broad and discrete regions, are associated with certain genomic elements and gene expression status. Here we focus on how studies on the beta-globin gene cluster can complement the genome wide effort through the thorough dissection of histone modifying p...
متن کاملTargeted DNA methylation in vivo using an engineered dCas9-MQ1 fusion protein
Comprehensive studies have shown that DNA methylation plays vital roles in both loss of pluripotency and governance of the transcriptome during embryogenesis and subsequent developmental processes. Aberrant DNA methylation patterns have been widely observed in tumorigenesis, ageing and neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting the importance of a systematic understanding of DNA methylation and t...
