KAT9 (also known as ELP3) is the catalytic subunit of the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) elongator complex, which contributes to transcript elongation and also regulates the maturation of projection neurons. The knockdown of KAT9 by antisense morpholinos in zebrafish embryos resulted in dose-dependent shortening and abnormal branching of motor neurons with no concomitant morphologic abnormalities. KAT9 knockdown also impairs paternal DNA demethylation as indicated by reporter binding, immunostaining, and bisulfite sequencing.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a spontaneous, relentlessly progressive motor neuron disease, usually resulting in death from respiratory failure within 3 years. Variation in the genes SOD1 and TARDBP accounts for a small percentage of cases, and other genes have
The life cycle of mammals begins when a sperm enters an egg. Immediately after fertilization, both the maternal and paternal genomes undergo dramatic reprogramming to prepare for the transition from germ cell to somatic cell transcription programs. One of the
