NoRC-dependent nucleosome positioning silences rRNA genes.
Previous studies have established that the Snf2h-containing chromatin remodeling complex NoRC mediates epigenetic silencing of a subset of rRNA genes (rDNA) by recruiting enzymatic activities that modify histones and methylate DNA. Here we have analyzed nucleosome positions at the murine rDNA promoter and show that active and silent rDNA copies are characterized not only by specific epigenetic ...
متن کاملSnail silences suppressor
2 JEM Vol. 206, No. 1, 2009 Learning to tolerate ourselves On age 139, Duty et al. find self-reactive B cells in healthy adults that might harm their own body if given the chance. Checkpoints during B cell development ensure that immune cells won’t confuse the self for an intruder. At birth, many B cells express self-reactive receptors. Most of the...
متن کاملDNA methylation directly silences genes with non-CpG island promoters and establishes a nucleosome occupied promoter.
Despite the fact that 45% of all human gene promoters do not contain CpG islands, the role of DNA methylation in control of non-CpG island promoters is controversial and its relevance in normal and pathological processes is poorly understood. Among the few studies which investigate the correlation between DNA methylation and expression of genes with non-CpG island promoters, the majority do not...
متن کاملAn intronic microRNA silences genes that are functionally antagonistic to its host gene
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs that down-regulate gene expression by silencing specific target mRNAs. While many miRNAs are transcribed from their own genes, nearly half map within introns of 'host' genes, the significance of which remains unclear. We report that transcriptional activation of apoptosis-associated tyrosine kinase (AATK), essential for neuronal differentiation, also ...
متن کاملHow genes evolve
Many new genes evolve through gene duplication followed by rapid evolution. The rate of the evolutionary process was thought to depend on the interrelationships between a protein’s structure and function, and its biological role. Yuri Wolf et al. used a mathematical model to predict the variables that determine the evolutionary rates of change in genes from Drosophila, Aspergillus, and humans. ...
