Abstract excerpt
p33ING2 belongs to the ING-gene family that is involved in tumor suppression, DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and cellular senescence. Most functions are dependent on the tumor suppressor p53. p33ING2 was also shown to bind to trimethylated lysine 4 of histone H3. Here, we show that p33ING2 contains a transferable silencing function, which is independent of p53. p33ING2-mediated gene silencing is resistant to...
