KAP1 targets actively transcribed genomic loci to exert pleomorphic effects on RNA polymerase II activity

Didier Trono, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Marco Cassano, Suk Min Jang, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert

KAP1 (KRAB-associated protein 1) is best known as a co-repressor responsible for inducing heterochromatin formation, notably at transposable elements. However, it has also been observed to bind the transcription start site of actively expressed genes. To a ...

ZFP30 promotes adipogenesis through the KAP1-mediated activation of a retrotransposon-derived Pparg2 enhancer

Carine Delattre-Gubelmann, Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Bart Deplancke, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Marco Cassano, Michaël Imbeault, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Suk Min Jang, Riccardo Dainese, Julie Marie Russeil, Wanze Chen, Evgeniia Pankevich

Krüppel-associated box zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of mammalian transcription factors, but most remain completely uncharacterized. While initially proposed to primarily repress transposable elements, recent reports have revea ...

KAP1 facilitates reinstatement of heterochromatin after DNA replication

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Julien Léonard Duc, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Benjamin Rauwel, Andrea Coluccio, Suk Min Jang, Julien Paul André Pontis, Geneviève Almouzni

During cell division, maintenance of chromatin features from the parental genome requires their proper establishment on its newly synthetized copy. The loss of epigenetic marks within heterochromatin, typically enriched in repetitive elements, endangers ge ...

Polyphenic trait promotes liver cancer in a model of epigenetic instability

Didier Trono, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Marco Cassano, Alessandra Piersigilli, Suk Min Jang, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the fifth most common form of cancer worldwide and carries a high mortality rate due to lack of effective treatment. Males are eight times more likely to develop HCC than females, an effect largely driven by sex ho ...

Threonine eliminylation by bacterial phosphothreonine lyases rapidly causes cross-linking of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in live cells

Suk Min Jang

Old long-lived proteins contain dehydroalanine (Dha) and dehydrobutyrine (Dhb), two amino acids engendered by dehydration of serines and threonines, respectively. Although these residues have a suspected role in protein cross-linking and aggregation, their ...

Release of human cytomegalovirus from latency by a KAP1/TRIM28 phosphorylation switch

Didier Trono, Isabelle Barde, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Benjamin Rauwel, Marco Cassano, Suk Min Jang

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a highly prevalent pathogen that induces life-long infections notably through the establishment of latency in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Bouts of reactivation are normally controlled by the immune system, but can be fat ...

A KAP1 phosphorylation switch controls MyoD function during skeletal muscle differentiation

Didier Trono, Marco Cassano, Suk Min Jang, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert

The transcriptional activator MyoD serves as a master controller of myogenesis. Often in partnership with Mef2 (myocyte enhancer factor 2), MyoD binds to the promoters of hundreds of muscle genes in proliferating myoblasts yet activates these targets only ...
