Methylation maintains HSC division fate.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for maintaining a sufficient pool of self-renewing cells that can continuously differentiate into lineage-specific hematopoietic cells throughout the lifetime of an individual (1). The choice to self-renew or differentiate is most likely achieved through coordination of extrinsic and intrinsic cell fate signals that drive symmetrical or asymmetric...
متن کاملDNA Methylation in Memory Formation: Emerging Insights.
The establishment of synaptic plasticity and long-term memory requires lasting cellular and molecular modifications that, as a whole, must endure despite the rapid turnover of their constituent parts. Such a molecular feat must be mediated by a stable, self-perpetuating, cellular information storage mechanism. DNA methylation, being the archetypal cellular information storage mechanism, has bee...
متن کاملDNA methylation patterns and epigenetic memory.
The character of a cell is defined by its constituent proteins, which are the result of specific patterns of gene expression. Crucial determinants of gene expression patterns are DNA-binding transcription factors that choose genes for transcriptional activation or repression by recognizing the sequence of DNA bases in their promoter regions. Interaction of these factors with their cognate seque...
متن کاملGenomic imprinting: Mother maintains methylation marks
A DNA methyltransferase has been identified that plays a role in maintaining the methylation status of imprinted genes. Interestingly, although expressed in the unfertilised egg, this enzyme functions only during one round of replication in the eight-cell embryo.
متن کاملNoradrenergic activation of the basolateral amygdala maintains hippocampus-dependent accuracy of remote memory.
Emotional enhancement of memory by noradrenergic mechanisms is well-described, but the long-term consequences of such enhancement are poorly understood. Over time, memory traces are thought to undergo a neural reorganization, that is, a systems consolidation, during which they are, at least partly, transferred from the hippocampus to neocortical networks. This transfer is accompanied by a decre...
