High impact information on SIN3A

  • MeCP2 selectively binds CpG dinucleotides in the mammalian genome and mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A (refs 12,13) [1].
  • We suggest that the ICR positioned close to the enhancers in an episomal context might function as a transcriptional silencer by virtue of interaction of CTCF with its modifiers such as SIN3A and histone deacetylases [2].
  • Two distinct regions of SIN3A, the PAH3 domain and the extreme C-terminal region, bind independently to this zinc-finger cluster [3].
 

Physical interactions of SIN3A

  • Furthermore, the ability of regions of CTCF to retain deacetylase activity correlates with the ability to bind to SIN3A and to repress gene activity [3].
