OGT inhibition during in vitro oocyte maturation disrupts epigenetic asymmetry in the zygote. It reduces male pronuclear size and eliminates DNA methylation asymmetry by decreasing H3K9me2‐mediated 5mC protection in the female pronucleus and suppressing TET3‐dependent DNA demethylation in the male pronucleus.

Diesel exhaust and house dust mite allergen lead to common changes in the airway methylome and hydroxymethylome. [PDF]
Exposures to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) from traffic and house dust mite (HDM) allergens significantly increase risks of airway diseases, including asthma. This negative impact of DEP and HDM may in part be mediated by epigenetic mechanisms.

Defending the genome from the enemy within:mechanisms of retrotransposon suppression in the mouse germline [PDF]
The viability of any species requires that the genome is kept stable as it is transmitted from generation to generation by the germ cells. One of the challenges to transgenerational genome stability is the potential mutagenic activity of transposable ...

5-hydroxymethylcytosine DNA glycosylase activity in mammalian tissue
The enzymatic release of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine from T2 bacteriophage DNA was effected by an extract of calf thymus. Like the previously described 5-hydroxymethyluracil DNA glycosylase, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine DNA glycosylase was not detectable in bacterial extracts.

Oxidative Stress: Molecular Mechanisms, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets
Oxidative stress occurs when the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production overwhelms the ROS scavenging, which lead to genomic instability, epigenetic regulation, proteostasis imbalance, and lipid peroxidation, subsequently causing the occurrence and development of numerous diseases. ABSTRACT Although the physiological level of reactive oxygen species (

Environmental enrichment modulates 5-hydroxymethylcytosine dynamics in hippocampus
Gene-environment interactions mediated at the epigenetic level may provide an initial step in delivering an appropriate response to environmental changes. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a DNA base derived from 5-methylcytosine (5mC), accounts for ~40% of modified cytosine in the brain and has been implicated in DNA methylation-related plasticity.

Prokaryotic defense systems: Diversity and evolutionary adaptation
Abstract Bacteriophages and archaeal viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Through a long‐standing co‐evolutionary arms race, they have driven the emergence of a diverse repertoire of prokaryotic defense systems. This review summarizes these systems, highlighting their diverse antiviral mechanisms across distinct stages of viral ...
