DNA hypomethylation and germ cell-specific expression of testis-specific H2B histone gene.
Testis-specific H2B (TH2B) histone gene of rat is expressed during meiotic event of spermatogenic differentiation. The gene is unusual in that it has conserved the regulatory elements involved in the S phase-specific transcription of somatic H2B genes as well as the S phase-specific stabilization of histone mRNA. Genomic sequencing revealed that all analyzed CpG sites in the promoter region of ...
متن کاملH1foo is indispensable for meiotic maturation of the mouse oocyte.
Oocyte-specific linker histone H1foo is localized in the oocyte nucleus, either diffusely or bound to chromatin, during the processes of meiotic maturation and fertilization. This expression pattern suggests that H1foo plays a key role in the control of gene expression and chromatin modification during oogenesis and early embryogenesis. To reveal the function of H1foo, we microinjected antisens...
متن کاملDUSP9 Modulates DNA Hypomethylation in Female Mouse Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Blastocyst-derived embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and gonad-derived embryonic germ cells (EGCs) represent two classic types of pluripotent cell lines, yet their molecular equivalence remains incompletely understood. Here, we compare genome-wide methylation patterns between isogenic ESC and EGC lines to define epigenetic similarities and differences. Surprisingly, we find that sex rather than cell ...
متن کاملRegulation of Lineage Specific DNA Hypomethylation in Mouse Trophectoderm
BACKGROUND DNA methylation is reprogrammed during early embryogenesis by active and passive mechanisms in advance of the first differentiation event producing the embryonic and extraembryonic lineage cells which contribute to the future embryo proper and to the placenta respectively. Embryonic lineage cells re-acquire a highly methylated genome dependent on the DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) Dn...
متن کاملThe Promoter of the Oocyte-Specific Gene, Oog1, Functions in Both Male and Female Meiotic Germ Cells in Transgenic Mice
Oog1 is an oocyte-specific gene whose expression is turned on in mouse oocytes at embryonic day (E) 15.5, concomitant with the time when most of the female germ cells stop proliferating and enter meiotic prophase. Here, we characterize the Oog1 promoter, and show that transgenic GFP reporter expression driven by the 2.7 kb and 3.9 kb regions upstream of the Oog1 transcription start site recapit...
