Abstract

Transposable elements (TEs) account for 50% of the human genome and have essential functions as gene promoters. A subset of TEs is expressed in normal cells and differentially expressed in cancers, yet their biological significance is understudied. In a recent article, Tu et al. describe the tumor suppressive function of POGK, an expressed TE with a KRAB domain, and its cooperation with TRIM28 to repress ribosomal gene transcription in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

POGK 是一种驯化的含 KRAB 结构域的转座元件，在乳腺癌中具有肿瘤抑制功能。

可转座元件（TEs）占人类基因组的 50%，具有基因启动子的基本功能。可转座元件的一个子集在正常细胞中表达，而在癌症中则有不同表达，但它们的生物学意义还未得到充分研究。在最近的一篇文章中，Tu 等人描述了具有 KRAB 结构域的表达 TE POGK 的肿瘤抑制功能，以及它与 TRIM28 合作抑制三阴性乳腺癌（TNBC）中核糖体基因转录的功能。
