Abstract excerpt
Previously, we have demonstrated that major histocompatibility class II trans-activator (CIITA) is crucial in mediating interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-induced repression of collagen type I gene transcription. Here we report that CIITA represses collagen transcription through a phosphorylation-dependent interaction between its proline/serine/threonine domain and co-repressor molecules such as histone deacetylase...
