Chemical Biology Approaches for Characterization of Epigenetic Regulators Published: February, 2016 Abstract:
Chemical biology approaches are a powerful means to functionally characterize epigenetic regulators such as histone modifying enzymes. We outline experimental protocols and best practices for the cellular characterization and use of “chemica... Read more » Tags Antibody
Expression of the MOZ-TIF2 oncoprotein in mice represses senescence. Published: February, 2016 Abstract:
The MOZ-TIF2 translocation, that fuses MOZ (Monocytic Leukemia Zinc finger protein) histone acetyltransferase (HAT) with the nuclear co-activator TIF2, is associated the development of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. We recently showed that in t... Read more » Tags Antibody
Transcriptome-wide distribution and function of RNA hydroxymethylcytosine Published: January, 2016 Abstract:
Hydroxymethylcytosine, well described in DNA, occurs also in RNA. Here, we show that hydroxymethylcytosine preferentially marks polyadenylated RNAs and is deposited by Tet in Drosophila. We map the transcriptome-wide hydroxymethylation landscape, ... Read more » Tags Antibody
Functional characterization of the hGRαT556I causing Chrousos syndrome Published: January, 2016 Abstract:
BACKGROUND:
Chrousos syndrome is a rare pathologic condition characterized by generalized, partial resistance of target tissues to glucocorticoids and caused by inactivating mutations of the human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) gene. A novel case ... Read more » Tags Antibody
Embryonic transcription is controlled by maternally defined chromatin state Published: December, 2015 Abstract:
Histone-modifying enzymes are required for cell identity and lineage commitment, however little is known about the regulatory origins of the epigenome during embryonic development. Here we generate a comprehensive set of epigenome reference maps, ... Read more » Tags Antibody
