X Abstract

CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is a ubiquitous Zn-finger-containing protein with numerous recognized functions, including, but not limited to, gene activation and repression, enhancer-blocking, X-chromosome inactivation, and gene imprinting. It is believed that the protein performs such a variety of functions by interacting with an array of very diverse proteins. In addition, CTCF undergoes several post-translational modifications, including poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. The PARylated form of CTCF has recently been implicated in two important functions: gene imprinting and control of ribosomal gene transcription. Here, we summarize and critically discuss the available data on the interplay between CTCF and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in these two processes. We consider the newly described phenomena in the broader context of PARP's activities, including the crucial role of protein PARylation in the regulation of the genome methylation pattern.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
