Generation of an Endogenous Dominant Negative Allele of chd5 Using a Novel Homologous Recombination Strategy to Reveal the Role of chd5 in Tumor Suppression and Neural Differentiation
Abstract:CHD5 is a vertebrate specific member of a family of ATP‐dependent chromatin remodeling proteins. Chromodomain/Helicase/DNA‐binding (CHD) proteins play a variety of roles in vertebrate development, and loss of CHD5 causes failure of proper expression in a cohort of genes involved in neural development. CHD5 plays a critical role tumor suppression in humans, and loss of CHD5 contributes to the formation or progression of numerous cancers, in particular neuroblastoma. To understand how CHD5 plays a role in tumor … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
