Unmodified Histone H3K4 and DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase Recruit Autoimmune Regulator to Target Genes
7 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) directs the expression of otherwise tissue-restricted antigens (TRAs) in medullary thymic epithelial cells, allowing their presentation to developing T cells, which leads to central tolerance. We addressed the conundrum of how AIRE is recruited to these otherwise silent genes in cells. Our studies confirmed that interactions between AIRE and the unmodified histone H3K4 (H3K4me0) are...
