Isolation of a novel histone deacetylase reveals that class I and class II deacetylases promote SMRT-mediated repression

Article Abstract:

Study results show that the first evidence that SMRT-mediated repression is promoted by class I and class II histone deacetylases. That SMRT can recruit class II histone deacetylases in an mSin3A-independent way has also been demonstrated. HDAC7 can interact with mSin3A in yeast and in mammalian cells. That suggests association of multiple repression complexes. A two-hybrid screen on SMRT-interacting proteins brought isolation of the recently described HDAC5 and a new family member called HDAC7. SMRT is a transcriptional corepressor that mediates the repressive effect of transcription factors that work in various signal pathways.

Sharp, an inducible cofactor that integrates nuclear receptor repression and activation

Article Abstract:

A novel SMRT-interacting protein now named SHARP (SMRT/HDAC1 Associated Repressor Protein) has been identified. Sharp, an inducible cofactor integrating nuclear receptor repression/activation, is discussed. A yeast two-hybrid screen which used the conserved carboxyl terminus of SMRT, a nuclear receptor corepressor, as a bait preceded isolation of SHARP, a potent transcriptional repressor whose repression domain interacts directly with SMRT and at least five members of the NuRD complex including HDAC1.

A histone deacetylase corepressor complex regulates the Notch signal transduction pathway

Article Abstract:

The Delta-Notch signal transduction pathway performs numerous roles in animal development. It seems to regulate cell fate. Before induction CBF1/RBP-J-kappa interacts with a corepressor complex in which there is silencing mediator of retinoid and thyroid hormone receptors (SMRT) and histone deacetylase HDAC-1. A novel genetic switch can be seen in which status of important nuclear cofactor complexes is controlled by out-of-cell ligands.
