L1 Retrotransposons in Human Cancers
Retrotransposons like L1 are silenced in somatic cells by a variety of mechanisms acting at different levels. Protective mechanisms include DNA methylation and packaging into inactive chromatin to suppress transcription and prevent recombination, potentially supported by cytidine deaminase editing of RNA. Furthermore, DNA strand breaks arising during attempted retrotranspositions ought to activ...
متن کاملFunctional antioxidant responsive elements.
Exposure of human and rodent cells to a wide variety of chemoprotective compounds confers resistance against a broad set of carcinogens. For a subset of the chemoprotective compounds, protection is generated by an increase in the abundance of protective enzymes like glutathione S-transferases (GST). Antioxidant responsive elements (AREs) mediate the transcriptional induction of a battery of gen...
متن کاملGlobal Effect of Inauhzin on Human p53-Responsive Transcriptome
BACKGROUND Previously, we reported that Inauhzin (INZ) induces p53 activity and suppresses tumor growth by inhibiting Sirt1. However, it remains unknown whether INZ may globally affect p53-dependent gene expression or not. Herein, we have conducted microarray and real-time PCR analyses of gene expression to determine the global effect of INZ on human p53-responsive transcriptome. METHODOLOGY/...
متن کاملActive Alu retrotransposons in the human genome.
Alu retrotransposons evolved from 7SL RNA approximately 65 million years ago and underwent several rounds of massive expansion in primate genomes. Consequently, the human genome currently harbors 1.1 million Alu copies. Some of these copies remain actively mobile and continue to produce both genetic variation and diseases by "jumping" to new genomic locations. However, it is unclear how many ac...
متن کاملTransposable elements: How non-LTR retrotransposons do it
The source of the enzyme activity responsible for the transposition of retrotransposons of the type that lack terminal repeats has at last been identified: in L1Hs elements, it is encoded by the second open reading frame and is a nuclease related to the apurinic repair endonucleases.
