Mutations of CBP has recently been discovered to be responsible for cases of heritable Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, an autosomal-dominant disorder which causes mental retardation and a predisposition to several forms of cancers. Further, transposition of CBP, which fuses the histone acetyl transferase domain of CBP to MOZ gene has been found in acute myeloid leukemia. The above two observations suggest that p300 and CBP may be tumor suppressor genes. 1, record 8, English, - MOZ%20gene

L'obésité correspond chez l'individu adulte à une augmentation de la masse du tissu adipeux. L'étude de la différenciation adipocytaire s'est enrichie récemment de plusieurs facteurs transcriptionnels, spécifiquement impliqués dans l'activation des gènes du métabolisme lipidique au sein des adipocytes et de leur différenciation : les PPAR (peroxysome proliferator activated receptor) capables d'induire un phénotype adipocytaire de myoblastes, le facteur ADDI (adipocyte determination and differentiation-dependant factor). En outre, certaines protéines de la famille HMG (high mobility group), actives sur la conformation de la chromatine, semblent agir spécifiquement sur l'accessibilité de gènes impliqués dans la différenciation adipocytaire. 1, record 9, French, - famille%20HMG
