Article: Research findings from University of Illinois update understanding of gene therapy.

A report, 'The p300 acetylase is critical for ligand-activated farnesoid X receptor (FXR) induction of SHP,' is newly published data in Journal of Biological Chemistry. "The primary bile acid receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) maintains lipid and glucose homeostasis by regulating expression of numerous bile acid-responsive genes, including an orphan nuclear receptor and metabolic regulator SHP. Using SHP as a model gene, we studied how FXR activity is regulated by p300 acetylase," investigators in the United States report (see also Gene Therapy).

"FXR interaction with p300 and their recruitment to the SHP promoter and acetylated histone levels at the promoter ...
