Epigenetic reprogramming in plant reproductive lineages.
Monoecious flowering plants produce both microgametophytes (pollen) and megagametophytes (embryo sacs) containing the male and female gametes, respectively, which participate in double fertilization. Much is known about cellular and developmental processes giving rise to these reproductive structures and the formation of gametes. However, little is known about the role played by changes in the ...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming in plant and animal development.
Epigenetic modifications of the genome are generally stable in somatic cells of multicellular organisms. In germ cells and early embryos, however, epigenetic reprogramming occurs on a genome-wide scale, which includes demethylation of DNA and remodeling of histones and their modifications. The mechanisms of genome-wide erasure of DNA methylation, which involve modifications to 5-methylcytosine ...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming in cancer.
The demonstration of induced pluripotency and direct lineage conversion has led to remarkable insights regarding the roles of transcription factors and chromatin regulators in mediating cell state transitions. Beyond its considerable implications for regenerative medicine, this body of work is highly relevant to multiple stages of oncogenesis, from the initial cellular transformation to the hie...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming in mammalian development.
DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification of the genome that regulates crucial aspects of its function. Genomic methylation patterns in somatic differentiated cells are generally stable and heritable. However, in mammals there are at least two developmental periods-in germ cells and in preimplantation embryos-in which methylation patterns are reprogrammed genome wide, generating cells ...
متن کاملEpigenetic Dynamics of Cell Reprogramming
Reprogramming is a process of transforming differentiated cells into pluripotent stem cells by inducing specific modifying factors in the cells. Reprogramming is a non-equilibrium process involving a collaboration at levels separated by orders of magnitude in time scale, namely transcription factor binding/unbinding, protein synthesis/degradation, and epigenetic histone modification. We propose...
