Project description:Comprehensive RNA-seq experiments in DMSO and HPTB (inhibitor of PRMT5) treated cells delineate the role of PRMT5 complex in promoting breast cancer oncogenesis
Project description:Comprehensive RNA-seq experiments in control and PRMT5 and WDR77 shRNA infected cells delineate the role of PRMT5/WDR77 complex in promoting breast cancer oncogenesis
Project description:The PRMT5/WDR77 complex is known to regulate alternative splicing through the symmetric dimethylation of spliceosome proteins in the cytoplasm. Overexpression of this complex is observed in different types of cancer including breast cancer, where it shows increased nuclear accumulation.To understand the nuclear role and the chromatin binding properties of PRMT5 we performed genome-wide ChIP-Seq analysis in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.
