CpG methylated minichromosomes become inaccessible for V(D)J recombination after undergoing replication.

The EMBO journal - 1 Jan 1992

Abstract excerpt

The physical parameters controlling the accessibility of antigen receptor loci to the V(D)J recombination activity are unknown. We have used minichromosome substrates to study the role that CpG methylation might play in controlling V(D)J recombination site accessibility. We find that CpG methylation decreases the V(D)J recombination of these substrates more than 100-fold. The decrease correlates with a...
