Recognition of methylated peptides by Drosophila melanogaster polycomb chromodomain.
Lysine methylation is one of the important post-translational modifications (PTMs) that regulate protein functions. Up to now, proteomic identification of this PTM remains a challenge due to the lack of effective enrichment methods in mass spectrometry experiments. To address this challenge, we present here a systematic approach to predicting peptides in which lysine residues may be methylated ...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Polycomb Group Genes in Glioblastoma Multiforme
The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins play a critical role in histone mediated epigenetics which has been implicated in the malignant evolution of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). By systematically interrogating The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we discovered widespread aberrant expression of the PcG members in GBM samples compared to normal brain. The most striking differences were upregulation of EZH...
متن کاملMicroRNA Regulation of Cbx7 Mediates a Switch of Polycomb Orthologs during ESC Differentiation
The Polycomb Group (PcG) of chromatin modifiers regulates pluripotency and differentiation. Mammalian genomes encode multiple homologs of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) components, including five orthologs of the Drosophila Polycomb protein (Cbx2, Cbx4, Cbx6, Cbx7, and Cbx8). We have identified Cbx7 as the primary Polycomb ortholog of PRC1 complexes in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The...
متن کاملA Cbx8-Containing Polycomb Complex Facilitates the Transition to Gene Activation during ES Cell Differentiation
Polycomb proteins play an essential role in maintaining the repression of developmental genes in self-renewing embryonic stem cells. The exact mechanism allowing the derepression of polycomb target genes during cell differentiation remains unclear. Our project aimed to identify Cbx8 binding sites in differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells. Therefore, we used a genome-wide chromatin immunopre...
متن کاملWhy metronidazole is active against both bacteria and parasites.
Metronidazole is one of the rare examples of a drug developed against a parasite which has since gained broad use as an antibacterial agent (24). Briefly, at Rhone-Poulenc labs in France, extracts of Streptomyces spp. were screened for activity against Trichomonas vaginalis, a cause of vaginal itching. Azomycin, a nitroimidazole, was identified, and metronidazole, a synthetic derivative, was us...
