Abstract excerpt
Wip1 phosphatase is emerging as an important regulator of tumorigenesis, but no unifying mechanistic network has been proposed. We found that Wip1 plays a key role in the transcriptional regulation of heterochromatin-associated DNA sequences. Wip1 was required for epigenetic remodeling of repetitive DNA elements through regulation of BRCA1 interaction with HP1, the recruitment of DNA methyltransferases, and...
