Chromatin regulators, phenotypic robustness, and autism risk
Though extensively characterized clinically, the causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remain a mystery. ASD is known to have a strong genetic basis, but it is genetically very heterogeneous. Recent studies have estimated that de novo disruptive mutations in hundreds of genes may contribute to ASD. However, it is unclear how it is possible for mutations in so many different genes to contribu...
متن کاملRegulators of chromatin and transcription in Drosophila
Development of multicellular organisms is achieved by organized temporal and spatial patterns of gene expression leading to cell differentiation. The DNA is compacted by histone proteins into chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Gene regulation occurs at several steps, for example at the chromatin and transcriptional level. Chromatin regulators control how the DNA is utilized by altering access and r...

متن کاملNew Mitotic Regulators Released from Chromatin
Faithful action of the mitotic spindle segregates duplicated chromosomes into daughter cells. Perturbations of this process result in chromosome mis-segregation, leading to chromosomal instability and cancer development. Chromosomes are not simply passengers segregated by spindle microtubules but rather play a major active role in spindle assembly. The GTP bound form of the Ran GTPase (RanGTP),...
متن کاملOncogene interference through targeting of chromatin regulators
The chromatin regulatory machinery is often exploited during tumorigenesis. For example, many of the central transcription factors in cancer biology (such as p53 and Myc) utilize chromatin regulators (CRs) as coactivators or corepressors to regulate their downstream target genes. Moreover, somatic mutation of CR-encoding genes is a common driver mechanism seen in many cancer types. Hence, CRs o...
