Z-DNA marks the spot for AIRE

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) is a unique transcriptional regulator that induces ectopic expression of thousands of tissue-specific genes in the thymus, a step critical for the establishment of immunological tolerance to self. In their recent publication, Fang et al. provide novel mechanistic insights into AIRE’s modus operandi, by highlighting Z-DNA as a key cis-regulatory element, critical for guiding AIRE to its target genes.
