“…We used ChIRP to determine the sites in the genome where MUNC binds and looked for cases where MUNC also regulates adjoining gene expression to find potentially direct targets of MUNC . Distinct combinations of MUNC domains are required for binding to and induction of Dcn (CH1 and CH5), Met (CH2 and CH5), and Runx1 (CH5 and SH1), genes that are known to stimulate muscle differentiation ( Li et al, 2020b ; Umansky et al, 2015 ; Wang et al, 2005 ; Kishioka et al, 2008 ). Similarly, different domains were critical for downregulation of Il15 (CH1, CH3, and PR2), Prmt6 (SH1), and Grip1 (CH4), genes that are known to have a negative impact on skeletal muscles ( Quinn et al, 1995 ; Choi et al, 2019 ; Wu et al, 2005 ).…”
