Cohesin loss alters adult hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis, leading to myeloproliferative neoplasms

…, J Pae, K Wang, C Kayembe, PP Rocha… - Journal of Experimental …, 2015 - rupress.org
The cohesin complex (consisting of Rad21, Smc1a, Smc3, and Stag2 proteins) is critically
important for proper sister chromatid separation during mitosis. Mutations in the cohesin …

Med12 is essential for early mouse development and for canonical Wnt and Wnt/PCP signaling

PP Rocha, M Scholze, W Bleiß, H Schrewe - Development, 2010 - journals.biologists.com
The Mediator complex is commonly seen as a molecular bridge that connects DNA-bound
transcription factors to the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) machinery. It is a large complex of 30 …
