High impact information on osa

  • We report here that the product of the trithorax group gene osa is required to repress such genes in the absence of the Wingless signal [1].
  • We have identified a novel gene, eyelid (eld), which is required for embryonic segmentation, development of the notum and wing margin, and photoreceptor differentiation [2].
  • Acetylation of the C terminus by p300 is not necessary for binding or promoter activation [3].
  • Instead, p300 acetylates p53-bound nucleosomes in the p21 promoter with spreading to the TATA box [3].
  • The Drosophila osa gene, like yeast SWI1, encodes an AT-rich interaction (ARID) domain protein [4].
 

Biological context of osa

  • Loss of maternal osa function causes severe segmentation defects, indicating that the function of osa is not limited to homeotic gene regulation [5].
  • Atro appears to be particularly closely related in function to the trxG gene osa, which encodes a component of the brahma chromatin remodeling complex [6].
  • CBP/p300 is a transcriptional co-activator that is recruited to enhancers by various DNA-binding proteins, including proteins whose activity is controlled by extracellular signals [7].
  • Reporter gene expression could be rescued from E1A inhibition by overexpression of CBP or p300 [8].
  • CBP and p300 act as coactivators of p65-driven gene activation and may play an important role in the cytokine-induced expression of various immune and inflammatory genes [8].
 

Associations of osa with chemical compounds

  • Although both STAT1alpha and STAT1beta bind to known STAT sites within in vitro assembled chromatin templates, only STAT1alpha, and not STAT1beta, in cooperation with p300 and acetyl-CoA, stimulated in vitro transcription from chromatin [9].
  • We conclude that chromatin remodeling by p300 in vivo makes TRAP/Mediator effective in stimulating transcription [9].
  • Although 17beta-estradiol (E2)-dependent HAT activity of steroid receptor coactivators 2 (SRC2) and p300 mediated by ERbeta could be detected, it was weaker than that mediated by ERalpha [10].
  • Secondly, hydroxylation of an asparagine residue in the C-terminal transactivation domain of HIFalpha directly prevents its interaction with the co-activator p300 [11].
 

Other interactions of osa

  • Regulation of Antennapedia by BRM and OSA proteins requires sequences 5' to the P2 promoter [5].
  • Finally, one revertant has a suppressing lesion in the osa locus far away from Antp [12].
  • eyelid antagonizes wingless signaling during Drosophila development and has homology to the Bright family of DNA-binding proteins [2].
