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.

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.
