Acetylation of TBX5 by KAT2B and KAT2A regulates heart and limb development (2017)
Journal Article
Ghosh, T. K., Aparicio-Sánchez, J. J., Buxton, S., Ketley, A., Mohamed, T., Rutland, C. S., …Brook, J. D. (2018). Acetylation of TBX5 by KAT2B and KAT2A regulates heart and limb development. Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 114, 185-198. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yjmcc.2017.11.013

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd TBX5 plays a critical role in heart and forelimb development. Mutations in TBX5 cause Holt-Oram syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition that affects the formation of the heart and upper-limb. Several studies have provided signif...

Distinct genetic architectures for syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital heart defects identified by exome sequencing (2016)
Journal Article
Sifrim, A., Hitz, M., Wilsdon, A., Breckpot, J., Turki, S. H. A., Thienpont, B., …Hurles, M. E. (2016). Distinct genetic architectures for syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital heart defects identified by exome sequencing. Nature Genetics, 48(9), 1060-1065. https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3627

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) have a neonatal incidence of 0.8–1%. Despite abundant examples of monogenic CHD in humans and mice, CHD has a low absolute sibling recurrence risk (~2.7%), suggesting a considerable role for de novo mutations (DNMs) an...

High-content screening identifies small molecules that remove nuclear foci, affect MBNL distribution and CELF1 protein levels via a PKC-independent pathway in myotonic dystrophy cell lines (2014)
Journal Article
Ketley, A., Chen, C. Z., Li, X., Arya, S., Robinson, T. E., Granados-Riveron, J. T., …Brook, J. D. (2014). High-content screening identifies small molecules that remove nuclear foci, affect MBNL distribution and CELF1 protein levels via a PKC-independent pathway in myotonic dystrophy cell lines. Human Molecular Genetics, 23(6), https://doi.org/10.1093/hmg/ddt542

Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a multi-system neuromuscular disorder for which there is no treatment. We have developed a medium throughput phenotypic assay, based on the identification of nuclear foci in DM patient cell lines using in situ hybridization...

The miR-30 microRNA family targets smoothened to regulate hedgehog signalling in zebrafish early muscle development (2013)
Journal Article
Ketley, A., Warren, A., Holmes, E., Gering, M., Aboobaker, A. A., & Brook, J. D. (2013). The miR-30 microRNA family targets smoothened to regulate hedgehog signalling in zebrafish early muscle development. PLoS ONE, 8(6), Article e65170. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0065170

The importance of microRNAs in development is now widely accepted. However, identifying the specific targets of individual microRNAs and understanding their biological significance remains a major challenge. We have used the zebrafish model system to...

Combined mutation screening of NKX2-5, GATA4, and TBX5 in congenital heart disease: multiple heterozygosity and novel mutations (2012)
Journal Article
Granados-Riveron, J. T., Pope, M., Bu'Lock, F. A., Thornborough, C., Eason, J., Setchfield, K., …Brook, D. (2012). Combined mutation screening of NKX2-5, GATA4, and TBX5 in congenital heart disease: multiple heterozygosity and novel mutations. Congenital Heart Disease, 7(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747-0803.2011.00573.x

Background: Variants of several genes encoding transcription modulators, signal transduction, and structural proteins are known to cause Mendelian congenital heart disease (CHD). NKX2-5 and GATA4 were the first CHD-causing genes identified by linkage...
