CALML5 is a ZNF750- and TINCR-induced protein that binds stratifin to regulate epidermal differentiation

Sun BK, Boxer LD, Ransohoff JD, Siprashvili Z, Qu K, Lopez-Pajares V, Hollmig ST, and PA Khavari.
Genes and Development (2015)

• Laser capture microdissection/RNA-seq of progenitor and differentiated layers of human epidermis identifies CALML5 as the most highly enriched differentiation gene
• CALML5 knockout in xenografted human epidermis results in impaired tissue differentiation 
• TINCR and ZNF750 are required for CALML5 induction
• CALML5 binds stratifin (SFN) to co-control expression of differentiation genes

Advances in skin grafting and treatment of cutaneous wounds

Sun BK, Siprashvili Z, and PA Khavari.
Science (2014)

• Advances in the understanding of epidermal wound healing and skin grafting raise the promise for better treatment of skin injuries, chronic wounds, and genetic skin diseases
• Improved understanding of stem cell biology, together with rapid advancement in genome engineering tools, are bringing the goal of true skin regeneration closer to reality
