Selective translation of epigenetic modifiers affects the temporal pattern and differentiation of neural stem cells
Abstract
The temporal development of tissues and organs may be defined by the genome-wide epigenetic and transcriptional state functioning as the clock. Here the authors found that Fbl, a ribosomal RNA methyltransferase, potentially behaves as a clock during neural stem cell (NSC) development by controlling translational efficiencies of epigenetic modifiers in the cerebral cortex primordium.
