Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor Smad4 plays a critical role in the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta signaling pathway. Smad4 is an essential component of transcriptional complexes mediating the activation of Smad-dependent target genes. However, how Smad4 regulates various chromosomal events remains unknown. Here, we report that Smad4 induces large-scale chromatin unfolding by targeting Smad4 to an amplified, lac...
