Corepressor SMRT is required to maintain Hox transcriptional memory during somitogenesis [Developmental Biology]

Nuclear hormone receptors (NRs), such as retinoic acid receptors (RARs), play critical roles in vertebrate development and homeostasis by regulating target gene transcription. Their activity is controlled by ligand-dependent release of corepressors and subsequent recruitment of coactivators, but how these individual receptor modes contribute to development are unknown. Here, we...
