Abstract

Chromatin-bound LEDGF and HDGF2 proteins allow RNAPII to overcome the nucleosome-induced block to transcription.

  • LEDGF/p75 binds pre-mRNA splicing factors and promotes transcriptional elongation on chromatinized DNA in vitro.

    “LEDGF/p75 has been shown to bind several pre-mRNA splicing factors and to assist transcriptional elongation on chromatinized DNA in vitro100,102.”

    From Structure and function of retroviral integrase (2022) · cites this paper as [102]

    The Results (page not specified) report that purified LEDGF/p75 enabled RNA polymerase II to transcribe through nucleosomes in a reconstituted in vitro assay. The paper does not report p75 binding pre-mRNA splicing factors; its References instead list a study about splicing-factor binding by the distinct p52 isoform. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The LEDGF/p75 PWWP domain binds nucleosomes in vitro carrying a chemical mimic of H3K36me3, and LEDGF/p75 chromatin distribution coincides with H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 marks.

    “The LEDGF/p75 PWWP domain can bind nucleosomes in vitro that are modified to carry a chemical mimic of trimethylated lysine at position 36 of the histone H3 tail (H3K36me3)110,111, and spatial distribution of LEDGF/p75 on chromatin coincided with H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 epigenetic marks102.”

    From Structure and function of retroviral integrase (2022) · cites this paper as [102]

    The citation to this paper is attached to the chromatin-distribution clause, not the preceding in-vitro binding clause. In the Results (page not provided), LEDGF localization is reported to correlate with H3K36me2; the paper does not report the same spatial correlation with H3K36me3, and its ChIP-MS results identify H3K36me3 enrichment for HDGF2 rather than LEDGF. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
