    PTIP promotes chromatin changes critical for immunoglobulin class switch recombination (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-07-31
    Description: Programmed genetic rearrangements in lymphocytes require transcription at antigen receptor genes to promote accessibility for initiating double-strand break (DSB) formation critical for DNA recombination and repair. Here, we showed that activated B cells deficient in the PTIP component of the MLL3 (mixed-lineage leukemia 3)-MLL4 complex display impaired trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) and transcription initiation of downstream switch regions at the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus, leading to defective immunoglobulin class switching. We also showed that PTIP accumulation at DSBs contributes to class switch recombination (CSR) and genome stability independently of Igh switch transcription. These results demonstrate that PTIP promotes specific chromatin changes that control the accessibility of the Igh locus to CSR and suggest a nonredundant role for the MLL3-MLL4 complex in altering antibody effector function.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3008398/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3008398/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Daniel, Jeremy A -- Santos, Margarida Almeida -- Wang, Zhibin -- Zang, Chongzhi -- Schwab, Kristopher R -- Jankovic, Mila -- Filsuf, Darius -- Chen, Hua-Tang -- Gazumyan, Anna -- Yamane, Arito -- Cho, Young-Wook -- Sun, Hong-Wei -- Ge, Kai -- Peng, Weiqun -- Nussenzweig, Michel C -- Casellas, Rafael -- Dressler, Gregory R -- Zhao, Keji -- Nussenzweig, Andre -- Z01 AR041149-03/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Z01 AR041149-04/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Z01 DK047055-01/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Z01 DK047055-02/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Z01 DK075003-04/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Z01 DK075003-05/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Z99 DK999999/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AR041149-05/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA DK075017-03/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIADK047055-03/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- ZIADK075003-06/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- ZIADK075017-01/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Aug 20;329(5994):917-23. doi: 10.1126/science.1187942.

    Dnmt3a-dependent nonpromoter DNA methylation facilitates transcription of neurogenic genes (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-07-24
    Description: DNA methylation at proximal promoters facilitates lineage restriction by silencing cell type-specific genes. However, euchromatic DNA methylation frequently occurs in regions outside promoters. The functions of such nonproximal promoter DNA methylation are unclear. Here we show that the de novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a is expressed in postnatal neural stem cells (NSCs) and is required for neurogenesis. Genome-wide analysis of postnatal NSCs indicates that Dnmt3a occupies and methylates intergenic regions and gene bodies flanking proximal promoters of a large cohort of transcriptionally permissive genes, many of which encode regulators of neurogenesis. Surprisingly, Dnmt3a-dependent nonproximal promoter methylation promotes expression of these neurogenic genes by functionally antagonizing Polycomb repression. Thus, nonpromoter DNA methylation by Dnmt3a may be used for maintaining active chromatin states of genes critical for development.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3539760/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3539760/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wu, Hao -- Coskun, Volkan -- Tao, Jifang -- Xie, Wei -- Ge, Weihong -- Yoshikawa, Kazuaki -- Li, En -- Zhang, Yi -- Sun, Yi Eve -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Jul 23;329(5990):444-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1190485.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA. haowu7@gmail.com〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20651149" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Probing allostery through DNA (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-02-16
    Description: Allostery is well documented for proteins but less recognized for DNA-protein interactions. Here, we report that specific binding of a protein on DNA is substantially stabilized or destabilized by another protein bound nearby. The ternary complex's free energy oscillates as a function of the separation between the two proteins with a periodicity of ~10 base pairs, the helical pitch of B-form DNA, and a decay length of ~15 base pairs. The binding affinity of a protein near a DNA hairpin is similarly dependent on their separation, which-together with molecular dynamics simulations-suggests that deformation of the double-helical structure is the origin of DNA allostery. The physiological relevance of this phenomenon is illustrated by its effect on gene expression in live bacteria and on a transcription factor's affinity near nucleosomes.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3586787/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3586787/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kim, Sangjin -- Brostromer, Erik -- Xing, Dong -- Jin, Jianshi -- Chong, Shasha -- Ge, Hao -- Wang, Siyuan -- Gu, Chan -- Yang, Lijiang -- Gao, Yi Qin -- Su, Xiao-dong -- Sun, Yujie -- Xie, X Sunney -- DP1 OD000277/OD/NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Feb 15;339(6121):816-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1229223.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23413354" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    CRL4 complex regulates mammalian oocyte survival and reprogramming by activation of TET proteins (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-12-21
    Description: The duration of a woman's reproductive period is determined by the size and persistence of a dormant oocyte pool. Specific oocyte genes are essential for follicle maintenance and female fertility. The mechanisms that regulate the expression of these genes are poorly understood. We found that a cullin-ring finger ligase-4 (CRL4) complex was crucial in this process. Oocyte-specific deletion of the CRL4 linker protein DDB1 or its substrate adaptor VPRBP (also known as DCAF1) caused rapid oocyte loss, premature ovarian insufficiency, and silencing of fertility maintaining genes. CRL4(VPRBP) activates the TET methylcytosine dioxygenases, which are involved in female germ cell development and zygote genome reprogramming. Hence, CRL4(VPRBP) ubiquitin ligase is a guardian of female reproductive life in germ cells and a maternal reprogramming factor after fertilization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yu, Chao -- Zhang, Yin-Li -- Pan, Wei-Wei -- Li, Xiao-Meng -- Wang, Zhong-Wei -- Ge, Zhao-Jia -- Zhou, Jian-Jie -- Cang, Yong -- Tong, Chao -- Sun, Qing-Yuan -- Fan, Heng-Yu -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Dec 20;342(6165):1518-21. doi: 10.1126/science.1244587.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Life Sciences Institute and Innovation Center for Cell Biology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24357321" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Pluripotent stem cells induced from mouse somatic cells by small-molecule compounds (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-07-23
    Description: Pluripotent stem cells can be induced from somatic cells, providing an unlimited cell resource, with potential for studying disease and use in regenerative medicine. However, genetic manipulation and technically challenging strategies such as nuclear transfer used in reprogramming limit their clinical applications. Here, we show that pluripotent stem cells can be generated from mouse somatic cells at a frequency up to 0.2% using a combination of seven small-molecule compounds. The chemically induced pluripotent stem cells resemble embryonic stem cells in terms of their gene expression profiles, epigenetic status, and potential for differentiation and germline transmission. By using small molecules, exogenous "master genes" are dispensable for cell fate reprogramming. This chemical reprogramming strategy has potential use in generating functional desirable cell types for clinical applications.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hou, Pingping -- Li, Yanqin -- Zhang, Xu -- Liu, Chun -- Guan, Jingyang -- Li, Honggang -- Zhao, Ting -- Ye, Junqing -- Yang, Weifeng -- Liu, Kang -- Ge, Jian -- Xu, Jun -- Zhang, Qiang -- Zhao, Yang -- Deng, Hongkui -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Aug 9;341(6146):651-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1239278.
