The first PHD domain of CHD4

The first PHD domain of CHD4

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] The Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex is essential for the normal regulation of gene expression in a wide range of organisms (even plants!). We are slowly trying to build up a picture of how NuRD works at a mechanistic...
The FOG1-RbAp48 complex

The FOG1-RbAp48 complex

[ PDB file ] [ PubMed link ] FOG1 is a coregulator protein that assists the transcription factor GATA1 in the control of gene expression during erythroid development. Gerd Blobel, a collaborator of ours in Philadelphia, showed that at least part of the mechanism by...
