Five nucleotides found in RCTG motifs are essential for post-fertilization methylation imprinting of the H19 ICR in YAC transgenic mice
19 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting at the mouse Igf2/H19 locus is controlled by the H19 ICR, within which paternal allele-specific DNA methylation originating in sperm is maintained throughout development in offspring. We previously found that a 2.9 kb transgenic H19 ICR fragment in mice can be methylated de novo after fertilization only when paternally inherited, despite its unmethylated state in sperm. When the 118 bp sequence...
