✦ Synopsis

The chromodomain is a highly conserved sequence motif that has been identified in a variety of animal and plant species. In mammals, chromodomain proteins appear to be either structural components of large macromolecular chromatin complexes or proteins involved in remodelling chromatin structure. Recent work has suggested that apart from a role in regulating gene activity, chromodomain proteins may also play roles in genome organisation. This article reviews progress made in characterising mammalian chromodomain proteins and emphasises their emerging role in the regulation of gene expression and genome organisation. BioEssays 22: 124 -137, 2000.

Mammalian Runt-domain-containing factors are structurally and functionally similar and have essential roles in hematopoiesis and osteogenesis. These factors can act as either positive or negative transcriptional regulators of tissue-specific genes whose promoters or enhancers contain the consensus R
