Molecular mechanisms of COUP-TF-mediated transcriptional repression: evidence for transrepression and active repression.
COUP-TF, an orphan member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, has been proposed to play a key role in regulating organogenesis, neurogenesis, and cellular differentiation during embryonic development. Since heterodimierization is a common theme within the nuclear receptor superfamily and has been demonstrated to modulate transcriptional properties of heterodimeric partners via allosteric inter...
متن کاملThe MYST Domain Acetyltransferase Chameau Functions in Epigenetic Mechanisms of Transcriptional Repression
Reversible acetylation of histone tails plays an important role in chromatin remodelling and regulation of gene activity. While modification by histone acetyltransferase (HAT) is usually linked to transcriptional activation, we provide here evidence for HAT function in several types of epigenetic repression. Chameau (Chm), a new Drosophila member of the MYST HAT family, dominantly suppresses po...
متن کاملMultiple Mechanisms of Transcriptional Repression in Eukaryotes
The selective transcription of eukaryotic genes is regulated by both positive and negative inputs from sequence-specific DNA-binding factors. These proteins provide the information essential for correct temporal and spatial control of transcription. The activities of transcriptional repressors have been characterized by a variety of methods, but in many cases the physiological relevance of prop...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of puberty via Zinc finger protein-mediated transcriptional repression
In primates, puberty is unleashed by increased GnRH release from the hypothalamus following an interval of juvenile quiescence. GWAS implicates Zinc finger (ZNF) genes in timing human puberty. Here we show that hypothalamic expression of several ZNFs decreased in agonadal male monkeys in association with the pubertal reactivation of gonadotropin secretion. Expression of two of these ZNFs, GATAD...
متن کاملVernalization-mediated VIN3 Induction Overcomes the LIKE-HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1/POLYCOMB REPRESSION COMPLEX2-mediated epigenetic repression.
VERNALIZATION INSENSITIVE3 (VIN3) induction by vernalization is one of the earliest events in the vernalization response of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). However, the mechanism responsible for vernalization-mediated VIN3 induction is poorly understood. Here, we show that the constitutive repression of VIN3 in the absence of the cold is due to multiple repressive components, including a tr...
