Chromatin-modifying enzymes in transcription and cancer
In recent years, our view of how gene expression is controlled has changed dramatically. The discovery of enzymes that modify histones has revealed that transcription is an enzymically driven process. Such modifications can recruit specific proteins and mediate chromatin changes that affect transcription either positively or negatively. Important biological pathways leading to cell proliferatio...
متن کاملNew Nomenclature for Chromatin-Modifying Enzymes
In the last ten years, the importance of chromatin modifications in many aspects of biology has become apparent. Several families of enzymes that modify histones have been identified, the majority of which are conserved throughout evolution. The enormous interest in this field has resulted in a very rapid rate of discovery of new enzymes, but this in turn has lead to a noncoherent nomenclature ...
متن کاملThe mSin3A chromatin-modifying complex is essential for embryogenesis and T-cell development.
The corepressor mSin3A is the core component of a chromatin-modifying complex that is recruited by multiple gene-specific transcriptional repressors. In order to understand the role of mSin3A during development, we generated constitutive germ line as well as conditional msin3A deletions. msin3A deletion in the developing mouse embryo results in lethality at the postimplantation stage, demonstra...
متن کاملStructural basis for recognition of diverse transcriptional repressors by the TOPLESS family of corepressors
TOPLESS (TPL) and TOPLESS-related (TPR) proteins comprise a conserved family of plant transcriptional corepressors that are related to Tup1, Groucho, and TLE (transducin-like enhancer of split) corepressors in yeast, insects, and mammals. In plants, TPL/TPR corepressors regulate development, stress responses, and hormone signaling through interaction with small ethylene response factor-associat...
متن کاملRecruitment of chromatin-modifying enzymes by CTIP2 promotes HIV-1 transcriptional silencing.
Following entry and reverse transcription, the HIV-1 genome is integrated into the host genome. In contrast to productively infected cells, latently infected cells frequently harbor HIV-1 genomes integrated in heterochromatic structures, allowing persistence of transcriptionally silent proviruses. Microglial cells are the main HIV-1 target cells in the central nervous system and constitute an i...
