The nucleosome remodeling factor.

Abstract:

:An essential component of the chromatin remodeling machinery is NURF (Nucleosome Remodeling Factor), the founding member of the ISWI family of chromatin remodeling complexes. In vertebrates and invertebrates alike, NURF has many important functions in chromatin biology including regulating transcription, establishing boundary elements, and promoting higher order chromatin structure. Since NURF is essential to many aspects of chromatin biology, knowledge of its function is required to fully understand how the genome is regulated. This review will summarize what is currently known of its biological functions, conservation in the most prominent model organisms, biochemical functions as a nucleosome remodeling enzyme, and its possible relevance to human cancer.

  • ATM blocks tunicamycin-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress.

    abstract::Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER-stress) is associated with ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene. We present here conclusive data showing that ATM blocks ER-stress induced by tunicamycin or ionizing radiation (IR). X-box protein-1 (XBP-1) splicing, GRP78 expression and caspase-12 activation were increased by tunic...
