Abstract excerpt
During the course of cancer progression, neoplastic cells undergo dynamic and reversible transitions between multiple phenotypic states, and this plasticity is enabled by underlying shifts in epigenetic regulation. Our results identified a negative feedback loop in which SET9 controls DNA methyltransferase-1 protein stability, which represses the transcriptional activity of the SET9 promoter in coordination with...
