Mice lacking the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding 5 chromatin remodeler display autism-like characteristics
Although autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) share a core set of nosological features, they exhibit substantial genetic heterogeneity. A parsimonious hypothesis posits that dysregulated epigenetic mechanisms represent common pathways in the etiology of ASDs. To investigate this hypothesis, we generated a novel mouse model resulting from brain-specific deletion of chromodomain helicase DNA-binding ...
متن کاملFrequent Disruption of Chromodomain Helicase DNA-Binding Protein 8 (CHD8) and Functionally Associated Chromatin Regulators in Prostate Cancer
Abnormal expression and function of chromatin regulators results in the altered chromatin structure seen in cancer. The chromatin regulator CTCF, its cofactor CHD8, and antagonistic paralogue BORIS have wide-ranging effects on gene regulation. Their concurrent expression and regulation was examined in benign, localized, and metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) arrays with extended follow-up using a...
متن کاملISWI and CHD chromatin remodelers bind to promoters but act in gene bodies
Background ATP-dependent nucleosome remodelers influence genetic processes by altering nucleosome occupancy, positioning, and composition. In vitro, yeast imitation switch (ISWI) and chromodomain helicase DNA-binding (CHD) remodelers bind ~30-85 bp of extranucleosomal DNA [1-3]. However, in vivo, ISWI and CHD remodelers act within gene bodies [4], which contain regularly spaced nucleosomes sepa...
متن کاملChromodomain Helicase/ATPase DNA-Binding Protein 1-Like Gene (CHD1L) Expression and Implications for Invasion and Metastasis of Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND Chromodomain helicase/ATPase DNA-binding protein 1-like gene (CHD1L), also known as ALC1 (amplified in liver cancer 1 gene), is a new oncogene amplified in many solid tumors. Whether this gene plays a role in invasion and metastasis of breast cancer is unknown. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of CHD1L in patients with invasive ductal carcinoma an...
متن کاملChromatin Remodelers: From Function to Dysfunction
Chromatin remodelers are key players in the regulation of chromatin accessibility and nucleosome positioning on the eukaryotic DNA, thereby essential for all DNA dependent biological processes. Thus, it is not surprising that upon of deregulation of those molecular machines healthy cells can turn into cancerous cells. Even though the remodeling enzymes are very abundant and a multitude of diffe...
