Abstract

How genes are regulated in the context of chromatin is a central question of biology. Steroid hormones control gene expression via interaction of their receptors with target sequences on DNA but can also activate cytoplasmic signaling cascades. Here we report that rapid Erk activation by progestins participates in induction of target genes by preparing the chromatin for transcription. Five minutes after hormone treatment, Erk activation leads to phosphorylation of the progesterone receptor (PR), activation of Msk1, and recruitment of a complex of the three proteins to a nucleosome on the MMTV promoter. Msk1 phosphorylates histone H3, leading to displacement of HP1gamma and recruitment of Brg1 and RNA polymerase II. Cell-free experiments show a direct interaction between PR, Erk, and Msk1 and support the importance of H3 phosphorylation for nucleosome remodeling. Inhibition of Msk1 activation blocks recruitment of the kinase complex, H3 phosphorylation, and HP1gamma displacement, thus precluding remodeling and induction of the promoter.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Histone phosphorylation contributes to transcription as a chromatin mark accounting for, in cooperation with other histone modifications, chromatin remodeling and promoter recruitment of RXR/RAR heterodimers and the transcriptional machinery.

    “According to several reports ( 96, 142, 143 ), histone phosphorylation would contribute to transcription as a chromatin mark accounting for, in cooperation with other histone modifi cations, chromatin remodeling and promoter recruitment of RXR/RAR heterodimers and the transcriptional machinery ( Fig. 6 ).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
