Nucleolar protein Spindlin1 recognizes H3K4 methylation and stimulates the expression of rRNA genes.

چکیده
The tandem Tudor-like domain-containing protein Spindlin1 has been reported to be a meiotic spindle-associated protein. Here we report that Spindlin1 is not associated with the spindle in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells during mitotic divisions. In interphase cells, Spindlin1 specifically localizes to the nucleoli. Moreover, Spindlin1 is a histone methylation effector protein that specifically recognizes H3K4 methylation. Finally, Spindlin1 localizes to the active ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats, and Spindlin1 facilitates the expression of rRNA genes.

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to investigate the methylation status and mRNA expression levels of P15, death-associated protein kinase (DAPK), and suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1) genes in multiple myeloma (MM). Materials and Methods: The bone marrow samples of 54 MM patients were collected and the methylation status of the P15, DAPK, and SOCS1 gene promoter regions was dete...
متن کاملErasure of histone acetylation by Arabidopsis HDA6 mediates large-scale gene silencing in nucleolar dominance.
Nucleolar dominance describes the silencing of one parental set of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes in a genetic hybrid, an epigenetic phenomenon that occurs on a scale second only to X-chromosome inactivation in mammals. An RNA interference (RNAi) knockdown screen revealed that the predicted Arabidopsis histone deacetylase, HDA6, is required for rRNA gene silencing in nucleolar dominance. In vivo, d...

Background: The main causes and difficulties of cancer are the imbalance between cell growth and cell death. This event is the results of changes in the expression level of genes related to these mechanisms. Among genes including in this case, death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) can be mentioned. Studies have shown that the expression of genes is influenced by the methylation of promoter reg...
متن کاملChromatin turn ons and turn offs of ribosomal RNA genes.
Eukaryotes have hundreds (sometimes thousands) of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes whose transcription by RNA polymerase I helps establish the proliferative ability of cells by dictating the pace of ribosome production and protein synthesis. Interestingly, only a subset of the total rRNA gene pool is active at any one time, making rRNA genes attractive for understanding the dynamic balance between ge...
متن کاملExtra views on RNA-dependent DNA methylation and MBD6-dependent heterochromatin formation in nucleolar dominance.
Nucleolar dominance is a widespread epigenetic phenomenon, describing the preferential silencing of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes inherited from one progenitor of an interspecific hybrid, independent of maternal or paternal effects. In the allotetraploid hybrid plant species Arabidopsis suecica, A. thaliana-derived rRNA genes are silenced whereas the A. arenosa-derived rRNA genes are transcribed. ...
