G9a Plays Distinct Roles in Maintaining DNA Methylation, Retrotransposon Silencing, and Chromatin Looping
1 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
G9a is a lysine methyltransferase that regulates epigenetic modifications, transcription, and genome organization. However, whether these properties are dependent on one another or represent distinct functions of G9a remains unclear. In this study, we observe widespread DNA methylation loss in G9a depleted and catalytic mutant embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, we define how G9a regulates chromatin accessibility,...
