Acetylation of HMG I(Y) by CBP Turns off IFNβ Expression by Disrupting the Enhanceosome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that acetylation of HMG I(Y) by CBP is essential for turning off IFN beta gene expression, and the acetyltransferase activities of CBP and P/CAF modulate both the strength of the transcriptional response and the kinetics of virus-dependent activation of the IFN Beta gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational models for neurogenic gene expression in the Drosophila embryo.

TL;DR: It is proposed that binding site occupancy is the key rate-limiting step for establishing localized patterns of gene expression in the early Drosophila embryo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunity Regulatory DNAs Share Common Organizational Features in Drosophila

TL;DR: Evidence that REL-GATA synergy plays a pervasive role in the immune response is presented and SELEX assays suggest that immunity regulatory DNAs contain constrained organizational features, which may be a general property of eukaryotic enhancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism by which the ifn-beta enhanceosome activates transcription

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in contrast to previous findings by using simple synthetic promoters or activators, the natural IFN-beta enhanceosome activates transcription by causing a dramatic increase of the rate by which preinitiation complexes assemble at the promoter.
