A histone reader becomes the readout.

Abstract

Chromatin signaling events are critical for the dynamic regulation of the genome. Although much has been learned about histone modification in these events, the modification of nonhistone chromatin regulators and cross-talk between these pathways is less well understood. Here, Appikonda et al. demonstrate that the transcription co-factor and oncoprotein TRIM24 (tripartite motif-containing protein 24) is SUMOylated upon association with a specific histone modification signature, which regulates the transcription of genes involved in cell adhesion. These data extend our understanding of signaling cascades in the nucleus and offer new insights for cancer drug development.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
