Clinical Epigenetics, 2012 Epigenetics is a mechanism that regulates gene expression independently of the underlying DNA sequence, relying instead on the chemical modification of DNA and histone proteins.

TAZ2 truncation confers overactivation of p300 and cellular vulnerability to HDAC inhibition
Nature Communications, 2023 The histone acetyltransferase p300/CBP is composed of several conserved domains, among which, the TAZ2 domain is known as a protein-protein interaction domain that binds to E1A and various transcription factors.

Epigenetics and chromatin remodeling play a role in lung disease [PDF]
, 2011 Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is facilitated through different mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA ...

Epigenetic control of Epstein–Barr virus transcription – relevance to viral life cycle? [PDF]
, 2013 DNA methylation normally leads to silencing of gene expression but Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) provides an exception to the epigenetic paradigm. DNA methylation is absolutely required for the expression of many viral genes.

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2017 Systemic lupus erythematosus is a severe autoimmune/inflammatory condition of unknown pathophysiology. Though genetic predisposition is essential for disease expression, risk alleles in single genes are usually insufficient to confer disease. Epigenetic dysregulation has been suggested as the missing link between genetic risk and the development of ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals an opposite role of SLPI in basal tumors based on metastatic spread, along with shared activation of specific regulons in cancer cells and mature luminal lactocytes, as well as downregulation of MALAT1 and NEAT1 in the latter.

DNA methylation at the DAT promoter and risk for psychopathology. Intergenerational transmission between school-age youths and their parents in a community sample [PDF]
, 2018 Background: The effect of gene polymorphisms and promoter methylation, associated with maladaptive developmental outcomes, vary depending on environmental factors (e.g., parental psychopathology).

Protein kinase FAM20C—when subcellular localization matters
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.FAM20C is a Golgi‐resident kinase that phosphorylates proteins along the entire secretory pathway. The presence of potential FAM20C substrates in the cytoplasm or nucleus raises the question of how the kinase and its substrates encounter each other. Protein kinases achieve signaling specificity through consensus sequence recognition and subcellular ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 We recently introduced an absolute and physical quantitative scale for chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq). The scale itself was determined directly from measurements routinely made on sequencing samples without additional ...

Crossovers between epigenesis and epigenetics. A multicenter approach to the history of epigenetics (1901-1975) [PDF]
, 2014 The origin of epigenetics has been traditionally traced back to Conrad Hal Waddington's foundational work in 1940s. The aim of the present paper is to reveal a hidden history of epigenetics, by means of a multicenter approach.
