“…MRG-1 contains a chromodomain and has homologues from yeast to humans (Bertram et al, 1999;Gorman et al, 1995;Nakayama et al, 2003;Reid et al, 2004). It associates with chromatin (Takasaki et al, 2007), and MRG15, the mammalian homologue, complexes with proteins involved in acetylation (Akhtar and Becker, 2000;Cai et al, 2003;Chen et al, 2009;Doyon et al, 2004;Eisen et al, 2001;Hayakawa et al, 2007;Ikura et al, 2000;Joshi and Struhl, 2005;Pardo et al, 2002;Yochum and Ayer, 2002); as such, MRG-1 is likely to be involved in controlling the expression of many genes. The mammalian homologue associates with both acetyltransferases and deacetylases.…”
