Identifying the Molecular Mechanisms By Which Disruptor of Telomere Silencing 1-like (DOT1L), a Histone 3, Lysine 79 (H3K79) Methyltransferase, Regulates Mammalian Hematopoiesis
Abstract:Disruptor of Telomere silencing 1-Like (DOT1L), is a histone 3, lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase that has been implicated in multiple processes, including activation of transcription, regulation of the cell cycle, leukemogenesis, and mouse embryonic development. In previous studies, we found that Dot1L deficiency results in an erythropoietic defect, leading to lethal anemia at around mid-gestation (Feng et al., 2010, Blood). The precise molecular mechanism(s) by which DOT1L regulates embryonic hematopoiesis… 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.
