  • After implantation, a secondary DMR is established at the promoter of the Gtl2 gene, sustaining its repression from the paternal allele. (nature.com)
  • Inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK), a key enzyme in the inositol polyphosphate (IP) metabolism, is a pleiotropic signaling factor involved in major biological events including transcriptional control. (sciety.org)
  • In the embryonic brain, neurogenesis is accompanied by dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility and histone modifications within promoter and enhancer regions. (indiana.edu)
  • Canonically, neuroblastomas can be classified according to the MYCN (N-myc proto-oncogene protein) gene amplification, a common marker of tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis. (bvsalud.org)
  • Assessment of F-MuLV-induced tumorigenesis reveals new candidate tumor genes including Pecam1, St7, and Prim2. (rochester.edu)
  • Each of the TnT isoform genes is linked in chromosomal DNA to a troponin I (TnI) isoform gene encoding the inhibitory subunit of the troponin complex to form three gene pairs: The fast skeletal muscle TnI (fsTnI)-fsTnT, slow skeletal muscle TnI (ssTnI)-cTnT, and cTnI-ssTnT pairs. (wikipedia.org)
  • Detailed analysis of the m 6 A-methylomes of Ythdf2 −/− NSPCs identifies that the JAK-STAT cascade inhibitory genes contribute to neuroprotection and neurite outgrowths show increased expression and m 6 A enrichment. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Transcripts for this gene undergo alternative splicing that results in many tissue-specific isoforms, however, the full-length nature of some of these variants has not yet been determined. (wikipedia.org)
  • We and others have synthesized light-activatable cMOs that allow spatiotemporal control of RNA splicing or translation, complementing the use of conditional knockouts to study stage- and tissue-specific differences in gene function. (cdc.gov)
  • 18 , 19 We surmised that cyclic cMOs containing an NfsB-cleavable linker could be used with analogous lines to knock down gene function in a tissue-specific manner (Figure 1 a). (cdc.gov)
  • In yeasts, IPMK and its IP products were known to promote the activity of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, which plays a critical role in gene expression by regulating chromatin accessibility. (sciety.org)
  • These genetic circuits often come into play when medical conditions are being controlled, and many gene switches can be triggered in the presence of small molecular compounds such as antibiotics, vitamins, food additives, cosmetics, or volatile fragrances. (electropages.com)
  • Mammalian TNNT2 gene contains 14 constitutive exons and 3 alternatively spliced exons. (wikipedia.org)
  • Structure and evolution of the alternatively spliced fast troponin T isoform gene. (ncl.edu.tw)
  • This determined how hierarchical interactions between regulatory elements orchestrate robust parent-specific expression, with implications for non-imprinted gene regulation. (nature.com)
