Developmental programming of CpG island methylation profiles in the human genome.

Abstract:

:CpG island-like sequences are commonly thought to provide the sole signals for designating constitutively unmethylated regions in the genome, thus generating open chromatin domains within a sea of global repression. Using a new database obtained from comprehensive microarray analysis, we show that unmethylated regions (UMRs) seem to be formed during early embryogenesis, not as a result of CpG-ness, but rather through the recognition of specific sequence motifs closely associated with transcription start sites. This same system probably brings about the resetting of pluripotency genes during somatic cell reprogramming. The data also reveal a new class of nonpromoter UMRs that become de novo methylated in a tissue-specific manner during development, and this process may be involved in gene regulation. In short, we show that UMRs are an important aspect of genome structure that have a dynamic role in development.

  • Biological basis for restriction of microRNA targets to the 3' untranslated region in mammalian mRNAs.

    abstract::MicroRNAs (miRNAs) interact with target sites located in the 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) of mRNAs to downregulate their expression when the appropriate miRNA is bound to target mRNA. To establish the functional importance of target-site localization in the 3' UTR, we modified the stop codon to extend the coding ...
