Beschreibung:
Natural interconversions between distinct somatic cell types have been reported in species as diverse as jellyfish and mice. The efficiency and reproducibility of some reprogramming events represent unexploited avenues in which to probe mechanisms that ensure robust cell conversion. We report that a conserved H3K27me3/me2 demethylase, JMJD-3.1, and the H3K4 methyltransferase Set1 complex cooperate to ensure invariant transdifferentiation (Td) of postmitotic Caenorhabditis elegans hindgut cells into motor neurons. At single-cell resolution, robust conversion requires stepwise histone-modifying activities, functionally partitioned into discrete phases of Td through nuclear degradation of JMJD-3.1 and phase-specific interactions with transcription factors that have conserved roles in cell plasticity and terminal fate selection. Our results draw parallels between epigenetic mechanisms underlying robust Td in nature and efficient cell reprogramming in vitro.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zuryn, Steven -- Ahier, Arnaud -- Portoso, Manuela -- White, Esther Redhouse -- Morin, Marie-Charlotte -- Margueron, Raphael -- Jarriault, Sophie -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Aug 15;345(6198):826-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1255885.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Development and Stem Cells, Institut de Genetique et de Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire, CNRS UMR 7104/INSERM U964, Universite de Strasbourg, 67404 Illkirch CU Strasbourg, France. ; Institut Curie, INSERM U934, CNRS UMR3215, 26, Rue d'Ulm, 75005 Paris, France. ; Department of Development and Stem Cells, Institut de Genetique et de Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire, CNRS UMR 7104/INSERM U964, Universite de Strasbourg, 67404 Illkirch CU Strasbourg, France. sophie@igbmc.fr.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25124442" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
