AbstractThe molecular basis of mammalian sperm capacitation, either in vivo in the female reproductive tract, or in vitro, is poorly understood. It is well known that sperm capacitation is associated with an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a subset of proteins. We resolved the phosphoproteins in the cell lysate of mouse sperm after capacitation

CCCTC-binding factor acts upstream of FOXA1 and demarcates the genomic response to estrogen. [PDF]
Transcription activation by estrogen receptor (ER) is rapid and dynamic. How the prompt and precise ER response is established and maintained is still not fully understood. Here, we report that two boundary elements surrounding the well defined ERalpha target TFF1 locus are occupied by the CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF). These elements are separated by 40

Molecular Mimics: How Viral Genomes Dupe Their Host by Usurping CTCF to Establish Infection [PDF]
The eukaryotic genome is organized into distinct structural units dictated by architectural proteins. The major host architectural protein CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is usurped by DNA viruses to regulate viral gene expression.

CTCF puts a new twist on UV damage and repair in skin cancer
Somatic mutations in skin cancers are highly enriched at binding sites for CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF). We have discovered that CTCF binding alters the DNA structure to render it more susceptible to UV damage. Elevated UV damage formation at CTCF binding

Cohesin-Mediated Chromatin Interactions and Autoimmunity
Proper physiological functioning of any cell type requires ordered chromatin organization. In this context, cohesin complex performs important functions preventing premature separation of sister chromatids after DNA replication. In partnership with CCCTC-
