Menin and Daxx Interact to Suppress Neuroendocrine Tumors through Epigenetic Control of the Membrane Metallo-Endopeptidase
22 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) often harbor loss-of-function mutations in the MEN1 and DAXX tumor suppressor genes. Here, we report that the products of these genes, menin and Daxx, interact directly with each other to suppress the proliferation of NET cells, to a large degree by inhibiting expression of the membrane metallo-endopeptidase (MME). Menin and Daxx were required to enhance histone H3 lysine9...
