Role of UHRF1 in de novo DNA methylation in oocytes and maintenance methylation in preimplantation embryos
4 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
The methylation of cytosine at CG sites in the mammalian genome is dynamically reprogrammed during gametogenesis and preimplantation development. It was previously shown that oocyte-derived DNMT1 (a maintenance methyltransferase) is essential for maintaining and propagating CG methylation at imprinting control regions in preimplantation embryos. In mammalian somatic cells, hemimethylated-CG-binding protein UHRF1...
