| Abstract | Most of the genes that are central to the process of skeletal muscle differentiation remain in a transcriptionally silent or 'off' state until muscle cells (myoblasts) are induced to differentiate. Although the mechanisms that contribute to this phenomenon are still unclear, it is likely that histone deacetylases (HDACs), which play an important role in the repression of genes, are principally involved. Recent studies indicate that the initiator of the myogenic program, namely MyoD, can associate with the deacetylase HDAC1 in vivo, and because HDACs are usually recruited to promoters by specific proteins, we considered the possibility that these two proteins might be acting together at the promoters of muscle-specific genes to repress their transcription in myoblasts. In this work, we show by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays that MyoD and HDAC1 are both occupying the promoter of myogenin and that this gene is in a region of repressed chromatin, as revealed by enrichment in histone H3 lysine 9 (Lys-9) methylation and the underacetylation of histones. Surprisingly, after the myoblasts are induced to differentiate, the promoter becomes absent of HDAC1, and eventually the acetyltransferase P/CAF takes it place alongside MyoD. In addition, enrichment of histone H3 acetylation (Lys-9/14) and phosphorylation of Ser-10 can now be observed at the myogenin promoter. These data strongly suggest that in addition to its widely accepted role as an activator of differentiation-specific genes, MyoD also can perform as a transcriptional repressor in proliferating myoblasts while in partnership with a HDAC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
