Abstract:Chromatin-modifying proteins are key players in the regulation of development and cell differentiation in animals. Many individual chromatin modifiers, however, predate the evolution of animal multicellularity and how they became integrated into the regulatory networks underlying development is unclear. Here we show that CoREST is an animal-specific protein that assembles a conserved, vertebrate-like histone-modifying complex including Lsd1 and HDAC1/2 in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. We further show… Show more
