Chromatin components as part of a putative transcriptional repressing complex

Abstract

The Drosophila HMG1-like protein DSP1 was identified by its ability to inhibit the transcriptional activating function of Dorsal in a promoter-specific fashion in yeast. We show here that DSP1 as well as its mammalian homolog hHMG2 bind to the mammalian protein SP100B and that SP100B in turn binds to human homologs of HP1. The latter is a Drosophila protein that is involved in transcriptional silencing. Each of these proteins represses transcription when tethered to DNA in mammalian cells. These results suggest how heterochromatin proteins might be recruited to specific sites on DNA with resultant specific effects on gene expression.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
