Epigenetic silencing of spermatocyte-specific and neuronal genes by SUMO modification of the transcription factor Sp3.

SUMO modification of transcription factors is linked to repression of transcription. The physiological significance of SUMO attachment to a particular transcriptional regulator, however, is largely unknown. We have employed the ubiquitously expressed murine transcription factor Sp3 to analyze the ro...
