Induction of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production in adult erythrocytes can reduce the severity of sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. Transcription of β-globin genes is regulated by the distant locus control region (LCR), which is brought into direct gene contact by the LDB1/GATA-1/TAL1/LMO2-containing complex. Inhibition of G9a H3K9 methyltransferase by the chemical compound UNC0638 activates...
During meiosis, specific histone modifications at pericentric heterochromatin (PCH), especially histone H3 tri- and dimethylation at lysine 9 (H3K9me3 and H3K9me2, respectively), are required for proper chromosome interactions. However, the molecular mechanism by which H3K9 methylation mediates the synapsis is not yet understood. We have generated a Cbx3-deficient mouse line and performed compa...
Lysine-specific murine histone H3 methyltransferase, G9a, was expressed and purified in a baculovirus expression system. The primary structure of the recombinant enzyme is identical to the native enzyme. Enzymatic activity was favorable at alkaline conditions (>pH 8) and low salt concentration and virtually unchanged between 25 and 42 degrees C. Purified G9a was used for substrate specificity a...
PURPOSE Histone lysine methylation (HKM) is an important epigenetic mechanism that establishes cell-specific gene expression and functions in development. However, epigenetic control of retinal development is poorly understood. To study the roles of HKM in retinogenesis, the authors examined the dynamic changes of three HKM modifications and of two of their regulators, the histone methyltransfe...
Conception rates among dairy cows in Japan have declined in recent decades. To enhance our understanding of the genes involved in conception rates, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 822 Holsteins and identified a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with conception rate: A+169G in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of unc-5 homolog C (UNC5C). Cows with higher co...
Little is known about the tolerance mechanisms that reduce the negative effects of microbial infection on host fitness. Here, we demonstrate that the histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferase G9a regulates tolerance to virus infection by shaping the response of the evolutionary conserved Jak-Stat pathway in Drosophila. G9a-deficient mutants are more sensitive to RNA virus infection and succumb fast...
Bone loss induced by mechanical unloading is a common skeletal disease, but the precise mechanism remains unclear. The current study investigated role of histone methylation, key epigenetic marker, and its cross-talk with DNA methylation in bone unloading. expression G9a, ubiquitin-like PHD ring finger domains 1 (UHRF1), transferase (DNMT1) were increased hind limb (HLU) rats. This was accompan...
S ickle cell disease (SCD) and b-thalassemia are widespread genetic disorders that result from inherited mutations in the adultb-globin gene. An important aspect of SCD and b-thalassemia is that diseasecausing mutations affect the adult b-globin gene but leave intact its fetal counterparts Ggand Ag-globin, a point that explains why SCD and b-thalassemia patients first experience major symptoms ...
Aberrant enzymatic activities or expression profiles of epigenetic regulations are therapeutic targets for cancers. Among these, histone 3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9Me2) and global de-acetylation on histone proteins are associated with multiple cancer phenotypes including leukemia, prostatic carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and pulmonary carcinoma. Here, we report the discovery of the first ...
Chemical manipulations performed on the histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferases (G9a/GLP) inhibitor BIX-01294 afforded novel desmethoxyquinazolines able to inhibit the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A at low micromolar levels without any significant inhibition of DNMT1 and G9a. In KG-1 cells such compounds, when tested at sub-toxic doses, induced the luciferase re-expression in a stable construct co...
