Journal ArticleDOI

Breast cancer risk–associated SNPs modulate the affinity of chromatin for FOXA1 and alter gene expression

TL;DR: The results show that breast cancer risk–associated SNPs are enriched in the cistromes of FOXA1 and ESR1 and the epigenome of histone H3 lysine 4 monomethylation in a cancer- and cell type–specific manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upregulation of c-MYC in cis through a Large Chromatin Loop Linked to a Cancer Risk-Associated Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism in Colorectal Cancer Cells

TL;DR: The findings of these studies support a mechanism for intergenic SNPs that can promote cancer through the regulation of distal genes by utilizing preexisting large chromatin loops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subunit Composition and Substrate Specificity of a MOF-containing Histone Acetyltransferase Distinct from the Male-specific Lethal (MSL) Complex *

TL;DR: An analysis of the subunit composition and substrate specificity of the NSL complex reveals that NSL is composed of nine subunits, and shows that assembly of the MOF HAT into MSL or NSL complexes controls its substrate specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of transcriptional activation by the Myc oncoproteins.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the function of Myc as a transcriptional activator and the role of this activity in Myc biological activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription-independent functions of MYC: regulation of translation and DNA replication.

TL;DR: Recently, MYC was shown to control protein expression through mRNA translation and to directly regulate DNA replication, thus initiating exciting new areas of oncogene research.
