High impact information on CHD8

  • Here, we show that the SNF2-like chromodomain helicase protein CHD8 interacts with the insulator binding protein CTCF [1].
  • Further, the lack of CHD8 affected CpG methylation and histone acetylation around the CTCF binding sites, adjacent to heterochromatin, of BRCA1 and c-myc genes [1].
  • Here we show that Duplin is expressed predominantly from early- to mid-stage mouse embryogenesis, and we describe the generation of mice deficient in Duplin [2].
  • Duplin(-/-) embryos manifest growth retardation from embryonic day 5.5 (E5.5) and developmental arrest accompanied by massive apoptosis at E7 [2].
 

Other interactions of CHD8

  • These findings provide insight into the role of CTCF-CHD8 complex in insulation and epigenetic regulation at active insulator sites [1].
