Gene Expression is Hindered When Tumor-Suppressor Connects With Histone Protein

A team led by scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has found that a tumor-suppressing protein acts as a dimmer switch to dial down gene expression. It does this by reading a chemical message attached to another protein that's tightly intertwined with DNA, according to the research reported at the AACR Annual Meeting 2014. The findings, also published in the journal Nature on April 10, provide evidence in support of the "histone ...
