Disclosed herein are methods and compounds for inhibiting gene expression by inhibiting enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). Such methods and compounds are useful for reducing expression of certain genes, many of which are associated with a variety of diseases and disorders.

Modulation of enhancer RNA mediated gene expression

The present invention relates to a method of screening for a compound that regulate SUMOylation of the nuclear receptor proteins comprising contacting the compound of interest to the nuclear receptor protein, and detecting SUMOylation of the nuclear receptor protein, thereby screening for a compound that regulates SUMOylation.

Identification of an evolutionarily conserved pathway mediating transrepression of inflammatory response genes by nuclear receptors

The present invention provides a substantially purified nucleic acid molecule encoding a p/CIP polypeptide, which regulates the activity of CBP/p300-dependent transcription factors. The invention also provides a substantially purified p-CIP polypeptide and active fragments thereof. In addition, the invention provides methods of identifying an effective agent that alters the association of a p/CIP polypeptide with a second protein. Further provided herein are methods of selectively inhibiting signal transduction pathways using an active fragment of a p/CIP polypeptide or a nucleic acid molecule encoding such an acive fragment.

Transcription factor coactivator protein, p/CIP

The present invention provides a substantially purified nucleic acid molecule encoding p/CIP, which regulates the activity of CBP/p300 dependent transcription factors. The invention also provides substantially purified p/CIP and peptide portions of p/CIP. The invention also provides methods of selectively inhibiting signal transduction pathways using a peptide portion of p/CIP or a nucleic acid molecule encoding such a peptide portion.
