      Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) plays a key role in the regulation of calcium-dependent gene expression. The expression of CaMKIV and the activation of CREB regulated genes are involved in memory ...
    • Rojas, Adriana; Aguilar, Rodrigo; Henríquez, Berta; Lian, Jane B.; Stein, Janet L.; Stein, Gary S.; Wijnen, Andre J. van; Zundert, Brigitte van; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Montecino, Martín (The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2015)
      Transcription factor Runx2 controls bone development and osteoblast differentiation by regulating expression of a significant number of bone-related target genes. Here, we report that transcriptional activation and repression ...
    • Araya López, Héctor; Sepulveda, Hugo; Lizama, Carlos O.; Vega Villa, Oscar; Jerez, Sofia; Briceño, Pedro F.; Thaler, Roman; Riester, Scott M.; Antonelli Anativia, Marcelo; Salazar Onfray, Flavio; Rodríguez Vives, Juan Pablo; Moreno, Ricardo D.; Montecino, Martín; Charbonneau, Martine; Dubois, Claire; Galindo Díaz, Mario; Stein, Gary; van Wijnen, Andre (Wiley-Liss Inc., 2018)
      Osteoblast differentiation is controlled by transcription factor RUNX2 which temporally activates or represses several bone-related genes, including those encoding extracellular matrix proteins or factors that control ...
    • Pastenes, Luis; Valdivieso, Camilo; Di Genova, Alex; Travisany, Dante; Hart, Andrew; Montecino, Martín; Orellana, Ariel; Gonzalez, Mauricio; Gutiérrez, Rodrigo A.; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Maass Sepúlveda, Alejandro; Méndez, Marco A. (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
      © 2017 The Author(s). The anuran Rhinella spinulosa is distributed along the Andes Range at altitudes that undergo wide daily and seasonal variation in temperature. One of the populations inhabits geothermal streams, a ...
    • Nardocci, Gino; Carrasco, Margarita E.; Acevedo, Elvis; Hodar, Christian; Meneses, Claudio; Montecino, Martín (Wiley-Liss Inc., 2018)
      © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a heterogeneous class of transcripts, longer than 200 nucleotides, 5′-capped, polyadenylated, and poorly conserved among mammalian species. Several studies ...
    • Varela Figueroa, Nelson; Aránguiz Quezada, Katherine Alejandra; Lizama, Carlos; Sepúlveda, Hugo; Antonelli Anativia, Juan; Thaler, Román; Moreno, Ricardo D.; Montecino, Martín; Stein, Gary S.; Van Wijnen, Andre; Galindo Díaz, Mario (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
      Epigenetic mechanisms mediate the acquisition of specialized cellular phenotypes during tissue development, maintenance and repair. When phenotype-committed cells transit through mitosis, chromosomal condensation counteracts ...
    • Young, Daniel W.; Hassan, Mohammad Q.; Yang, Xiao Qing; Galindo, Mario A.; Javed, Amjad; Zaidi, Sayyed K.; Furcinitti, Paul; Lapointe, David; Montecino, Martín; Lian, Jane B.; Stein, Janet L.; Van Wijnen, Andre J.; Stein, Gary S. (2007)
      During cell division, cessation of transcription is coupled with mitotic chromosome condensation. A fundamental biological question is how gene expression patterns are retained during mitosis to ensure the phenotype of ...
    • Rojas, Adriana; Sepúlveda, Hugo; Henríquez, Berta; Aguilar, Rodrigo; Opazo, Tatiana; Nardocci, Gino; Bustos, Fernando; Lian, Jane B.; Stein, Janet L.; Stein, Gary S.; van Zundert, Brigitte; van Wijnen, Andre J.; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Montecino, Martín (Wiley, 2019)
      Expression of Runx2/p57 is a hallmark of the osteoblast-lineage identity. Although several regulators that control the expression of Runx2/p57 during osteoblast-lineage commitment have been identified, the epigenetic ...
    • Palacios García, Ismael; Lara Vásquez, Ariel; Montiel, Juan F.; Díaz Véliz, Gabriela; Sepúlveda, Hugo; Utreras Puratich, Elías; Montecino, Martín; González Billault, Christian; Aboitiz Domínguez, Francisco Javier (Public Library Science, 2015)
