📢 Ready for this? A new way to think about Gene Regulation! 🚨A new coregulator complex, Zincore, acts as a "MOLECULAR GRIP", stabilizing TFs at DNA binding sites across the genome!🧬 💪Proud to be part of this work led by @daaninthelab.bsky.social Read more: science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adv2861
In today’s publication in Science we introduce Zincore: a novel protein of QRICH1 and SEPHS1 and functions as a transcriptional coregulator dedicated to zinc finger transcription factors. Here’s how we found it: 🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/11
Zincore, an atypical coregulator, binds zinc finger transcription factors to control gene expression
Zinc finger proteins (ZNFs) are the largest family of transcription factors, yet how they activate gene expression remains unclear. In this study, we identified Zincore, a protein complex consisting o...

I think there is still much to learn about SRBD1, not only in mitosis but also regarding other potential functions. Its similarity to Spt6/SUPT6H continues to intrigue me 🤔
