La monoubiquitinación de la histona H2A cumple un rol esencial en la represión génica. Diversas enzimas desubiquitinantes (DUBs) han sido identificadas, que remueven específicamente la ubiquitina de ...

Generalment s'ha pensat que la regulació de l'splicing alternatiu està controlada principalment per la interacció entre els factors reguladors de l'splicing i la taxa d'elongació de la ARN polimerasa ...
