Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: H2Av is an evolutionarily conserved H2A variant protein involved in the regulation of transcription. The Tip60 complex is recruited by different transcription factors to facilitate the incorporation and acetylation of H2Av, thereby influencing target gene expression. The Tip60-H2Av axis is involved in various developmental processes, though its precise roles are not yet fully understood. METHODS: RNA interference and gene mutation technology were used to screen essential genes in regulating Notch signaling pathway. Immunostaining was used to detect the protein level of H2Av, Tip60 complex as well as Notch signaling pathway components. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were performed to detect the specific binding site of H2Av in E(spl)-Complex and Su(H) genes. RESULT: Here we report that H2Av is required for Notch signaling activation during Drosophila wing development. H2Av depletion disrupts the expression of Notch target genes, resulting in wing marginal defects. Unexpectedly, we find that H2Av regulates the expression of the Su(H) gene which encodes for the transcription factor of the Notch signaling cascade. We further demonstrate that the Tip60 complex modulates the transcription of both Notch targets and Su(H) likely through H2Av. Based on these observations, we propose a model that the Tip60-H2Av axis facilitates Notch pathway activation by simultaneously promoting the expression of both the target genes and the transcription factor. CONCLUSION: This study offers insights into the diverse roles of the Tip60-H2Av axis in Notch pathway activation by identifying a novel two-tier regulatory mechanism which may also be utilized by other chromatin remodeling factors.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
