Homo-trimerization is essential for the transcription factor function of Myrf for oligodendrocyte differentiation

D Kim, J Choi, C Fan, RS Shearer, M Sharif… - Nucleic acids …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Myrf is a key transcription factor for oligodendrocyte differentiation and central nervous system
myelination. We and others have previously shown that Myrf is generated as a membrane …

Identifying oligodendrocyte enhancers governing Plp1 expression

D Kim, H An, C Fan, Y Park - Human molecular genetics, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Oligodendrocytes (OLs) produce myelin in the central nervous system (CNS), which
accelerates the propagation of action potentials and supports axonal integrity. As a major …

[PDF][PDF] PRC2 acts as a critical timer that drives oligodendrocyte fate over astrocyte identity by repressing the notch pathway

W Wang, H Cho, D Kim, Y Park, JH Moon, SJ Lim… - Cell reports, 2020 - cell.com
PRC2 creates the repressive mark histone H3 Lys27 trimethylation. Although PRC2 is involved
in various biological processes, its role in glial development remains ambiguous. Here, …

Exosomes/microvesicles target SARS-CoV-2 via innate and RNA-induced immunity with PIWI-piRNA system

S Ikhlas, A Usman, D Kim, D Cai - Life Science Alliance, 2022 - life-science-alliance.org
Murine neural stem cells (NSCs) were recently shown to release piRNA-containing
exosomes/microvesicles (Ex/Mv) for exerting antiviral immunity, but it remains unknown if these Ex/…

Reference levels of blood mercury and association with metabolic syndrome in Korean adults

…, H Kim, KS Park, HS Pyo, H Kim, SY Oh, J Kim… - International archives of …, 2014 - Springer
Purpose Mercury (Hg) is a nonessential and toxic metal that is widely distributed in the
environment. This study was performed to estimate the representative blood Hg level, to …

[HTML][HTML] A principled strategy for mapping enhancers to genes

D Kim, H An, RS Shearer, M Sharif, C Fan, J Choi… - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
Mapping enhancers to genes is a fundamental goal of modern biology. We have developed
an innovative strategy that maps enhancers to genes in a principled manner. We illustrate its …

Identifying an oligodendrocyte enhancer that regulates Olig2 expression

C Fan, D Kim, H An, Y Park - Human molecular genetics, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Olig2 is a basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor that plays a critical role in the central
nervous system. It directs the specification of motor neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor …

Uncovering oligodendrocyte enhancers that control Cnp expression

C Fan, H An, D Kim, Y Park - Human molecular genetics, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Oligodendrocytes (OLs) produce myelin sheaths around axons in the central nervous system
(CNS). Myelin accelerates the propagation of action potentials along axons and supports …

[HTML][HTML] Functional mechanism and pathogenic potential of MYRF ICA domain mutations implicated in birth defects

H An, C Fan, M Sharif, D Kim, Y Poitelon, Y Park - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
Myrf is a membrane-bound transcription factor that plays a key role in various biological
processes. The Intramolecular Chaperone Auto-processing (ICA) domain of Myrf forms a homo-…
