Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nResearch into developmentally relevant proteins has highlighted distinct molecular roles that impact embryonic cell fate and craniofacial morphogenesis. On one hand, work in mouse embryonic stem cells has revealed that the WD‐40 repeat protein PWP1 plays a critical role in the exit from pluripotency by modulating chromatin structure. PWP1 is localized at regions enriched in histone H4K20me3 and occupies sites upstream of the Stat3 gene; by maintaining these repressive marks, it suppresses Stat3 expression. Knockdown of Pwp1 does not alter proliferation, self‐renewal, or apoptosis, but it compromises the differentiation potential of the cells, an effect that can be reversed by dampening Stat3 signaling."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n \nIn a separate line of investigation, a mutation screening study focusing on the poliovirus receptor related‐2 (PRR2) gene—a locus mapped to an orofacial cleft linkage region—has suggested an etiologic role in nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate.
