Disease relevance of RQCD1

  • Here we show that mammalian Rcd1 is a novel transcriptional cofactor and is critically involved in the commitment step in the retinoic acid-induced differentiation of F9 mouse teratocarcinoma cells, at least in part, via forming complexes with retinoic acid receptor and activation transcription factor-2 (ATF-2) [1].
 

High impact information on RQCD1

  • In addition, antisense oligonucleotide treatment of embryonic mouse lung explants suggests that Rcd1 also plays a role in retinoic acid-controlled lung development [1].
  • Mammalian Rcd1 is a novel transcriptional cofactor that mediates retinoic acid-induced cell differentiation [1].
  • Cells with rcd1+ deleted are sterile if sexual development is induced by nitrogen starvation but fertile if it is induced by glucose starvation [2].
