Overview of Gene Research
Msl1, or Male-specific lethal 1, is crucial for the formation of the MSL histone acetyltransferase complex. This complex acetylates histone H4 Lys16 (H4K16ac), a key epigenetic modification that activates gene expression. It is involved in multiple biological processes and associated with pathways like dosage compensation in Drosophila and potentially in mammalian cells as well, which is important for balanced gene expression between sexes [1,2,3,4].
In a mouse model, Msl1 was identified as a key regulator of STAT3 and histone H4 in hepatocytes. It forms condensates with STAT3 or H4 through liquid-liquid phase separation to enrich acetyl-coenzyme A (Ac-CoA). Ac-CoA then enhances Msl1 condensate formation, promoting the acetylation of STAT3 K685 and H4K16, thus stimulating liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH). This shows Msl1's role in liver regeneration [1].
In conclusion, Msl1 is essential for gene activation through histone acetylation and has a significant role in liver regeneration as revealed by in vivo studies. Understanding Msl1's function in such processes may offer new therapeutic strategies for acute liver diseases and transplantation [1].
