Alternative mRNA Splicing of Corepressors Generates Variants That Play Opposing Roles in Adipocyte Differentiation

Abstract excerpt

The SMRT and NCoR corepressors partner with, and help mediate repression by, a wide variety of nuclear receptors and non-receptor transcription factors. Both SMRT and NCoR are expressed by alternative mRNA splicing, resulting in the production of a series of interrelated corepressor variants that differ in their tissue distribution and in their biochemical properties. We report here that different corepressor...
