TL;DR: This work identifies the transcription factor ATF4 as a critical substrate of RSK2 that is required for the timely onset of osteoblast differentiation, for terminal differentiation of osteoblasts, and for osteoplast-specific gene expression and indicates that lack of ATF4 phosphorylation by R SK2 may contribute to the skeletal phenotype of CLS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Reorganization of Replication Domains During Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation
Ichiro Hiratani,Tyrone Ryba,Mari Itoh,Tomoki Yokochi,M. Schwaiger,Chia-Wei Chang,Yung Lyou,Tim M. Townes,Dirk Schübeler,David M. Gilbert +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that replication profiles are cell-type specific, and changes in these profiles reveal chromosome segments that undergo large changes in organization during differentiation, a novel characteristic of the pluripotent state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erythroid-specific expression of human beta-globin genes in transgenic mice.
TL;DR: Human beta‐globin protein was detectable in mature erythrocytes from progeny of one of these mice and the frequency and extent of expression was severely depressed when the procaryotic vector DNA was not removed prior to microinjection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen radical inhibition of nitric oxide-dependent vascular function in sickle cell disease
Mutay Aslan,Thomas M. Ryan,Brian Adler,Tim M. Townes,Dale A. Parks,J. Anthony Thompson,Albert Tousson,Mark T. Gladwin,Rakesh P. Patel,Margaret M. Tarpey,Ines Batinic-Haberle,C. Roger White,Bruce A. Freeman +12 more
TL;DR: Data reveal that episodes of intrahepatic hypoxia-reoxygenation associated with SCD can induce the release of XO into the circulation from the liver.
Journal ArticleDOI
KLF1 regulates BCL11A expression and gamma- to beta-globin gene switching.
TL;DR: Control knockdown of KLF1 in adult erythroid progenitors may provide a method to activate fetal hemoglobin expression in individuals with β-thalassemia or sickle cell disease.
