Transcriptional autoregulation by BRCA1.
The BRCA1 gene product plays numerous roles in regulating genome integrity. Its role in assembling supermolecular complexes in response to DNA damage has been extensively studied; however, much less is understood about its role as a transcriptional coregulator. Loss or mutation is associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancers, whereas altered expression occurs frequently in sporadic for...
متن کاملMaintaining a memory by transcriptional autoregulation
One of the key features of cellular differentiation programs is stability. Although differentiation is reversible in principle, many components of the gene batteries induced upon terminal differentiation are maintained throughout a cell's life. For example, muscle cells continuously express the myosin gene, and GABAergic neurons continuously express genes for GABA synthesis and transport. Maint...

reactions. Intermediary metabolism, for example, is run by enzymatic machines that are revved up and down by allosteric responses to the binding of small molecules. And in bacteria we know of one set of genes that is not regulated by recruitment: the inactive promoters bear a special form of tightly-bound RNA polymerase, and the activator uses energy in the form of ATP to turn on transcription....
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the base excision repair pathway by BRCA1.
Inactivation of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 plays a significant role in the development of a subset of breast cancers, although the major tumor suppressor function of this gene remains unclear. Previously, we showed that BRCA1 induces antioxidant-response gene expression and protects cells against oxidative stress. We now report that BRCA1 stimulates the base excision repair pat...
متن کاملTranscriptional repression of BRCA1 by aberrant cytosine methylation, histone hypoacetylation and chromatin condensation of the BRCA1 promoter.
BRCA1 expression is repressed by aberrant cytosine methylation in sporadic breast cancer. We hypothesized that aberrant cytosine methylation of the BRCA1 promoter was associated with the transcriptionally repressive effects of histone hypoacetylation and chromatin condensation. To address this question, we developed an in vitro model of study using normal cells and sporadic breast cancer cells ...
