Abstract

Steroid hormones regulate gene expression by interaction of their receptors with hormone responsive elements (HREs) and recruitment of kinases, chromatin remodeling complexes, and coregulators to their target promoters. Here we show that in breast cancer cells the BAF, but not the closely related PBAF complex, is required for progesterone induction of several target genes including MMTV, where it catalyzes localized displacement of histones H2A and H2B and subsequent NF1 binding. PCAF is also needed for induction of progesterone target genes and acetylates histone H3 at K14, an epigenetic mark that interacts with the BAF subunits by anchoring the complex to chromatin. In the absence of PCAF, full loading of target promoters with hormone receptors and BAF is precluded, and induction is compromised. Thus, activation of hormone-responsive promoters requires cooperation of at least two chromatin remodeling activities, BAF and PCAF.

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.
