Runx-dependent and silencer-independent repression of a maturation enhancer in the Cd4 gene
The commitment of helper and cytotoxic lineages for CD4 and CD8 T cells, respectively, is associated with the regulation of Cd4 gene expression. Here the authors show that an intronic silencer, S4, has differential effects and synergy with the RUNX complex to act on two enhancer elements of the CD4...

| Summary: | The commitment of helper and cytotoxic lineages for CD4 and CD8 T cells, respectively, is associated with the regulation of Cd4 gene expression. Here the authors show that an intronic silencer, S4, has differential effects and synergy with the RUNX complex to act on two enhancer elements of the CD4 gene to control T cell lineage commitment in the thymus. |
