MRG15 aggravates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis progression by regulating the mitochondrial proteolytic degradation of TUFM.

MRG15 orchestrates rhythmic epigenomic remodelling and controls hepatic lipid metabolism.
Title: MRG15 orchestrates rhythmic epigenomic remodelling and controls hepatic lipid metabolism.
In round spermatids, MRG15 colocalizes with splicing factors PTBP1 and PTBP2 at H3K36me3 sites between the exons and single intron of transition nuclear protein 2 (Tnp2). Thus, our results reveal that MRG15 is essential for pre-mRNA splicing during spermatogenesis and that epigenetic regulation of pre-mRNA splicing by histone modification could be useful to understand not only spermatogenesis but also, epigenetic disorder
Title: MRG15 is required for pre-mRNA splicing and spermatogenesis.
HDAC2-dependent deacetylation of MORF4L1 enhances MORF4L1 homodimerization, thus facilitating the functionality of complex formation to repress cell proliferation.

DNA damage foci, as indicated by immunostaining for gammaH2AX and 53BP1, are detectable in a sub-population of Mrg15 deficient NSC cultures under normal growing conditions and the majority of p21-positive cells are also positive for 53BP1 foci.

Our results demonstrate that MRG15 has more than one function in neurogenesis and defines a novel role for this chromatin regulator that integrates proliferation and cell-fate determination in neurogenesis during development.
Title: MRG15, a component of HAT and HDAC complexes, is essential for proliferation and differentiation of neural precursor cells.
Formation of phosphorylated H2AX and 53BP1 foci was delayed in Mrg15 mutant versus wild-type cells following irradiation. These data implicate a novel role for MRG15 in DNA-damage repair in mammalian cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
