Abstract excerpt
The epithelial Na(+) channel subunit-α (αENaC) of the distal nephron is essential for salt balance. We previously demonstrated that the histone methyltransferase Dot1a and its protein partner Af9 basally repress αENaC transcription in mouse inner medullary collecting duct type 3 (mIMCD3) cells and link aldosterone-elicited chromatin modifications to αENaC transcriptional activation. Af9 DNA-binding activity has...
