Gene Dosage–Dependent Embryonic Development and Proliferation Defects in Mice Lacking the Transcriptional Integrator p300

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Mouse development is exquisitely sensitive to the overall gene dosage of p300 and cbp, providing genetic evidence that a coactivator endowed with histone acetyltransferase activity is essential for mammalian cell proliferation and development.

The coregulator exchange in transcriptional functions of nuclear receptors

TL;DR: Based on their importance in biology and medicine, as well as the relatively simple mechanism of regulation, NR represent one of the most intensively studied and best-understood classes of transcription factors at the molecular level.
Journal ArticleDOI

CREB: a stimulus-induced transcription factor activated by a diverse array of extracellular signals.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms by which Ser133-phosphorylated CREB activates transcription, intracellular signaling pathways that lead to phosphorylation ofCREB at Ser133, and features of each signaling pathway that impart specificity at the level of CREB activation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear receptor coregulators: cellular and molecular biology.

TL;DR: This review will summarize selected aspects of the current knowledge of the cellular and molecular biology of nuclear receptor coregulators.

Extension of life-span by introduction of telomerase into normal human cells

TL;DR: In this article, two telomerase-negative normal human cell types, retinal pigment epithelial cells and foreskin fibroblasts, were transfected with vectors encoding the human telomere catalytic subunit.

Abnormal blood vessel development and lethality in embryos lacking a single VEGF allele

TL;DR: It is reported that formation of blood vessels was abnormal, but not abolished, in heterozygous VEGF-deficient (VEGF+/-) embryos, generated by aggregation of embryonic stem (ES) cells with tetraploid embryos (T-ES)16,17, and even more impaired in homozygous D1-VEGF- deficient (VDGF-/-) T-ES embryos, resulting in death at mid-gestation.

Targeted mutation of the DNA methyltransferase gene results in embryonic lethality.

TL;DR: Results indicate that while a 3-fold reduction in levels of genomic m5C has no detectable effect on the viability or proliferation of ES cells in culture, a similar reduction of DNA methylation in embryos causes abnormal development and embryonic lethality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterozygous embryonic lethality induced by targeted inactivation of the VEGF gene.

TL;DR: The unexpected finding that loss of a single VEGF allele is lethal in the mouse embryo between days 11 and 12 was reported, and angiogenesis and blood-island formation were impaired, resulting in several developmental anomalies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Transcriptional Coactivators p300 and CBP Are Histone Acetyltransferases

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that p300/CBP acetylates nucleosomes in concert with PCAF, a novel class of acetyltransferases in that it does not have the conserved motif found among various other acetyl transferases.
