| Research Abstract |
Sno1 is expressed in neural crest cells of mouse embryo, and Sno1 conditional KO embryos in neural crest lineage showed increased cell death and hypoplastic craniofacial structure. I found that Sno1 interacts with a Histone binding protein. Sno1 can activate gene transcription, and Sno1-C terminal region accumulates at the site of DNA-double strand breaks. Taken together, Sno1 might be involved in gene transcription and DNA-damage repair in developing neural crest cells.
