Sentenece the gene occurs

20600782Conditional inactivation of MRG15 gene function limits survival during larval and adult stages of Drosophila melanogaster
20600782The mammalian MRG15 gene encodes a chromodomain protein predicted to bind to chromatin via methylated histone tails
20600782Drosophila contains a single homolog of human MRG15, called DmMRG15
20600782Null mutation of MRG15 is embryonic-lethal in mice and Drosophila, making the study of MRG15 requirements in adults difficult
20536842In contrast to MORF4, MRG15 and MRGX are positive regulators of cell division
20536842Mrg15 knockout mice are embryonic lethal, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from Mrg15 null embryos proliferate poorly, enter senescence rapidly, and have impaired DNA repair compared to the wild type
20536842Mrg15 null embryonic neural stem and progenitor cells also have a decreased capacity for proliferation and differentiation
17460191MRG15, the evolutionary ancestor of the family, is highly conserved in yeast, C
17460191Our proteomics studies have found that MRG15 is unique among mammalian genes in that it associates with both histone deacetylases and histone acetyl transferase complexes, and thus potentially plays a role in both transcriptional silencing and activation
17135209Human MRG15 is a transcription factor that plays a vital role in embryonic development, cell proliferation and cellular senescence
17008723The MRG domain of human MRG15 uses a shallow hydrophobic pocket to interact with the N-terminal region of PAM14
17008723MRG15 is a transcription factor expressed in a variety of human tissues, and its orthologs have been found in many other eukaryotes which constitute the MRG protein family
17008723The C-terminal part of MRG15 forms a conserved MRG domain which is involved in interactions with the tumor suppressor protein retinoblastoma and a nucleoprotein PAM14 during transcriptional regulation
17008723We report here the characterization of the interaction between the MRG domain of human MRG15 and PAM14 using both yeast two-hybrid and in vitro binding assays based on the crystal structure of the MRG domain
17008723Structural and biochemical data together demonstrate that the PAM14 binding site is consisted of residues Ile160, Leu168, Val169, Trp172, Tyr235, Val268, and Arg269 of MRG15, which form a shallow hydrophobic pocket to interact with the N-terminal 50 residues of PAM14 through primarily hydrophobic interactions
17008723These results provide the molecular basis for the interaction between the MRG domain and PAM14, and reveal insights into the potential biological function of MRG15 in transcription regulation and chromatin remodeling
16407074We present here the crystal structure of a prototypic MRG domain from human MRG15 whose core consists of two orthogonal helix hairpins
15923606We have shown that MRGX and MRG15 associate with Rb in nucleoprotein complexes and regulate B-myb promoter activity
15923606Characterization of the expression pattern of mouse MrgX demonstrated it was ubiquitously expressed in all tissues of adult mice and also during embryogenesis and overlapped with its homolog Mrg15
15923606MRGX and MRG15 proteins localize predominantly to the chromatin fraction in the nucleus, although a small amount of both proteins localized to the nuclear matrix
15923606Whereas disruption of Mrg15 results in embryonic lethality, absence of MrgX did not impair mouse development and MrgX null mice are healthy and fertile
15923606Mrg15 expression in MrgX-deficient tissues and MEFs was not upregulated compared with wild-type tissues and MEFs
15923606MRG15 is highly conserved with orthologs present from humans to yeast and is essential for survival of mice
15923606In contrast, MRGX, which evolved later, is expressed only in vertebrates, suggesting that the lack of phenotype of MrgX-deficient mice is secondary to a compensatory effect by the evolutionarily conserved MRG15 protein but not vice versa
12391155Role for the mortality factors MORF4, MRGX, and MRG15 in transcriptional repression via associations with Pf1, mSin3A, and Transducin-Like Enhancer of Split
12391155This family comprises MORF on chromosome 4 (MORF4) and MORF-related genes on chromosomes X and 15 (MRGX and MRG15, respectively) and is proposed to contribute to cellular senescence
12391155While the MORFs may have common functions, MRG15, but not MRGX or MORF4, interacted with Pf1
12391155Therefore, MRG15 may have functions that are distinct from those of MRGX and MORF4
12391155Pf1 has independent binding sites for MRG15 and mSin3A
12391155In addition, Pf1 and MRG15 bind different domains on mSin3A
12391155Together, these data suggest that the unique functions of MRG15 are elicited through the action of an MRG15/Pf1/mSin3A complex
11500496MRG15 activates the B-myb promoter through formation of a nuclear complex with the retinoblastoma protein and the novel protein PAM14
11500496The MORF4-Related Gene on chromosome 15 (MRG15) is a member of a novel family of genes originally identified in studies to reveal cell senescence-inducing factors
11500496MRG15 contains several predicted protein motifs, including a nuclear localization signal, a helix-loop-helix region, a leucine zipper, and a chromodomain
11500496These motifs are commonly associated with transcription factors, suggesting that MRG15 may likewise function as a transcriptional regulator
11500496To examine the potential function(s) of MRG15, we sought to identify cellular factors associated with this MRG family member
11500496We have further demonstrated that these interactions require the helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper domains of MRG15
11500496Significantly we have demonstrated that MRG15 blocks the Rb-induced repression of this promoter, leading to B-myb promoter activation
11500496Collectively these results suggest that MRG15 regulates transcription through interactions with a cellular protein complex containing Rb and PAM14
11280020It is a member of a family of seven genes and only MORF4 and the MORF-related genes MRG15 and MRGX are expressed
