General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function the SETDB1 repressor complex, which involves multiple KRAB zinc finger proteins, shields neuronal genomes from excess CTCF binding and is critically required for structural maintenance of cPcdh topologically associated domain. Neuronal ablation of Setdb1 leads to locus-specific disintegration of megabase-scale chromosomal conformations. The cPcdh topologically associated domain in neurons from mutant mice shows abnormal accumulation of the transcriptional regulator and three-dimensional genome organizer CTCF at cryptic binding sites, in conjunction with DNA cytosine hypomethylation, histone hyperacetylation and upregulated expression. Genes encoding stochastically expressed protocadherins are transcribed by increased numbers of cortical neurons. SETDB1-dependent loop formations bypass 0.2-1 Mb of linear genome and radiate from the cPcdh topologically associated domain fringes toward cis-regulatory sequences within the cPcdh locus Mus musculus
