Effect of HIRA deletion on gene expression in mouse skeletal muscle at 6 weeks of age
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We performed gene expression profiling by microarray using RNA extracted from the tibialis anterior of control and Hira myofiber-specific conditional knockout mice at 6 weeks of age. Hira is a histone chaperone responsible for replication-independent incorporation of histone variant H3.3 at actively transcribed loci. Conditional knockout of Hira in myofibers caused hypertrophy, degeneration, and increased the percentage of type I fibers. These results illustrate the physiological consequences of disrupting Hira-mediated chromatin assembly in myofibers.
