MBD family proteins: reading the epigenetic code.
Methylation of DNA in mammalian cells serves to demarcate functionally specialized regions of the genome and is strongly associated with transcriptional repression. A highly conserved family of DNA-binding proteins characterized by a common sequence motif is widely believed to convert the information represented by methylation patterns into the appropriate functional state. This family, the MBD...

once was. Why do cells devote resources to altering the biochemistry. Many of these chapters are written from meaning of the nucleotide sequences originally speci-a broad historical perspective that is not accessible fied in their genomes? While not providing a simple through the primary literature. The level of detail in some answer to this question, O ¨ hman and Bass succeed in chapters might...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine tumours: cracking the epigenetic code.
The field of epigenetics has evolved rapidly over recent years providing insight into the tumorigenesis of many solid and haematological malignancies. Determination of epigenetic modifications in neuroendocrine tumour (NET) development is imperative if we are to improve our understanding of the biology of this heterogenous group of tumours. Epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation at RASSF1A ar...
متن کاملChromatin fiber allostery and the epigenetic code.
The notion of allostery introduced for proteins about fifty years ago has been extended since then to DNA allostery, where a locally triggered DNA structural transition remotely controls other DNA-binding events. We further extend this notion and propose that chromatin fiber allosteric transitions, induced by histone-tail covalent modifications, may play a key role in transcriptional regulation...
متن کاملRewriting the Epigenetic Code for Tumor Resensitization: A Review
In cancer chemotherapy, one axiom, which has practically solidified into dogma, is that acquired resistance to antitumor agents or regimens, nearly inevitable in all patients with metastatic disease, remains unalterable and irreversible, rendering therapeutic rechallenge futile. However, the introduction of epigenetic therapies, including histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) and DNA methyltr...
