Abstract excerpt
Lineage commitment is induced by changes in gene expression dictated by the intimate interaction between transcription factors and chromatin regulators. Here, we revealed the antagonistic interplay between Ikaros and its associate the chromatin remodeler Mi-2beta during T cell development, as exemplified by the regulation of Cd4 expression. Loss of Ikaros or Mi-2beta led to activation or repression, respectively,...
