The Synovial Sarcoma–Associated SS18-SSX2 Fusion Protein Induces Epigenetic Gene (De)Regulation
1 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Fusion of the SS18 and either one of the SSX genes is a hallmark of human synovial sarcoma. The SS18 and SSX genes encode nuclear proteins that exhibit opposite transcriptional activities. The SS18 protein functions as a transcriptional coactivator and is associated with the SWI/SNF complex, whereas the SSX proteins function as transcriptional corepressors and are associated with the polycomb complex. The domains...
