Identification Of Trim24 Domain Essentiality In Primary Trim24coe Carcinosarcoma Cell Lines, Cem Dede

Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)

Regulation of transcriptional control is a critical feature for organismal development and survival. Because of its effects on chromatin-controlled expression, disruptions of this delicately tuned mechanism are an important factor in development of tumorigenesis. Therefore, there is a growing interest in targeting these control mechanisms for their potential therapeutic values.

Our lab previously discovered the epigenetic regulator function of Tripartite motif protein 24 (TRIM24) through its H3K4me0 and H3K23ac dual histone signature reader function, its negative regulatory effect on the p53 tumor suppressor, in addition to its shown oncogenic driving capacity on immortalized mammary epithelial cells when overexpressed. Although TRIM24 …
