INSM1 functions as a transcriptional repressor of the neuroD/β2 gene through the recruitment of cyclin D1 and histone deacetylases
14 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
INSM1/IA-1 (insulinoma-associated 1) is a developmentally regulated zinc-finger transcription factor, exclusively expressed in the foetal pancreas and nervous system, and in tumours of neuroendocrine origin. We have identified an INSM1 binding site in the neuroD/beta2 promoter and demonstrated transcriptional repressor activity of INSM1 by transient transfection assay. A chromatin immunoprecipitation assay...
