Allele-specific demethylation at an imprinted mammalian promoter
A screen for imprinted genes on mouse Chromosome 7 recently identified Inpp5f_v2, a paternally expressed retrogene lying within an intron of Inpp5f. Here, we identify a novel paternally expressed variant of the Inpp5f gene (Inpp5f_v3) that shows a number of unusual features. Inpp5f_v3 initiates from a CpG-rich repeat region adjoining two B1 elements, despite previous reports that SINEs are gene...
متن کاملCTCF Elements Direct Allele-Specific Undermethylation at the Imprinted H19 Locus
The H19 imprinted gene locus is regulated by an upstream 2 kb imprinting control region (ICR) that influences allele-specific expression, DNA methylation, and replication timing. This ICR becomes de novo methylated during late spermatogenesis in the male but emerges from oogenesis in an unmethylated form, and this allele-specific pattern is then maintained throughout early development and in al...
متن کاملCoordinated allele-specific histone acetylation at the differentially methylated regions of imprinted genes
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic inheritance system characterized by parental allele-specific gene expression. Allele-specific DNA methylation and chromatin composition are two epigenetic modification systems that control imprinted gene expression. To get a general assessment of histone lysine acetylation at imprinted genes we measured allele-specific acetylation of a wide range of lysine re...
متن کاملComparative Anatomy of Chromosomal Domains with Imprinted and Non-Imprinted Allele-Specific DNA Methylation
Allele-specific DNA methylation (ASM) is well studied in imprinted domains, but this type of epigenetic asymmetry is actually found more commonly at non-imprinted loci, where the ASM is dictated not by parent-of-origin but instead by the local haplotype. We identified loci with strong ASM in human tissues from methylation-sensitive SNP array data. Two index regions (bisulfite PCR amplicons), on...
متن کاملSex-specific meiotic drive and selection at an imprinted locus.
We present a one-locus model that breaks two symmetries of Mendelian genetics. Whereas symmetry of transmission is breached by allowing sex-specific segregation distortion, symmetry of expression is breached by allowing genomic imprinting. Simple conditions for the existence of at least one polymorphic stable equilibrium are provided. In general, population mean fitness is not maximized at poly...
