TRIM35 Monoubiquitinates H2B in Cardiac Cells, Implications for Heart Failure

The tumor suppressor and proapoptotic transcription factor P53 is induced (and activated) in several forms of heart failure, including cardiotoxicity and dilated cardiomyopathy; however, the precise mechanism that coordinates its induction with accessibility to its transcriptional promoter sites remains unresolved, especially in the setting of mature terminally differentiated (nonreplicative) cardiomyocytes.
