A NuRD for all seasons.

The nucleosome-remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex is an essential transcriptional regulator in all complex animals. All seven core subunits of the complex exist as multiple paralogs, raising the question of whether the complex might utilize paralog switching to achieve cell type-specific functions. We examine the evidence for this idea, making use of published quantitative proteomic data to dissect NuRD composition in 20 different tissues, as well as a large-scale CRISPR knockout screen carried out in >1000 human cancer cell lines. These data, together with recent reports, provide strong support for the idea that distinct permutations of the NuRD complex with tailored functions might regulate tissue-specific gene expression programs.
