Enzymatic approaches and bisulfite sequencing cannot distinguish between 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA

BioTechniques, 2010
DNA cytosine methylation (5mC) is highly abundant in mammalian cells and is associated with transcriptional repression. Recently, hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) has been detected at high levels in certain human cell types; however, its roles are unknown ...

Allelic Variation in Maize Malate Dehydrogenase 7 Shapes Promoter Methylation and Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study maize chloroplastic malate dehydrogenase7 (ZmMDH7), is identified as a Rhizoctonia solani resistance gene in maize. ZmMDH7 is regulated by transcription factor ZmWRKY44 via pathogens challenge to elevate mitochondrial ROS and SA signaling pathway.

Activity on non-methylated DNA limits the use of endonuclease MspJI for epigenetic analyses

All Results Journals: Biol, 2018
Cytosine methylation of DNA in mammals has been associated with both physiological and pathological changes in gene-expression. DNA treatment with methylation sensitive and/or dependent restriction enzymes, followed by PCR amplification is a widely used ...

Mammalian Proteome Profiling Reveals Readers and Antireaders of Strand‐Symmetric and ‐Asymmetric 5‐Hydroxymethylcytosine‐Modifications in DNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytosine (C) modifications 5‐methylcytosine (mC) and 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) are central regulatory elements of mammalian genomes. Both marks occur in double‐stranded DNA in either strand‐symmetric or ‐asymmetric fashion, but it is still poorly understood how this symmetry information is selectively read out by the nuclear proteome ...

The amniote-conserved DNA-binding domain of CGGBP1 restricts cytosine methylation of transcription factor binding sites in proximal promoters to regulate gene expression

BMC Genomic Data
CGGBP1 is a GC-rich DNA-binding protein which is important for genomic integrity, gene expression and epigenome maintenance through regulation of CTCF occupancy and cytosine methylation.

Induced Proprioceptor and Low‐Threshold Mechanoreceptor Neurons Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Exhibit Distinct Functional Mechanosensory Properties

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study describes derivation of two distinct mechanosensory subpopulations from human pluripotent stem cells using a transcription factor mediated approach. Of significance, functional interrogation of induced mechanosensory subtypes reveal their unique responses to mechanical stimulation in the absence of end‐organs.

Unraveling the Morphological and Functional Maturation Mechanisms Underlying Human Neural Development Using iPSCs‐Derived Neuronal Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neuronal model, Tian and colleagues reveal that voltage‐gated calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, and their mediated calcium ion influx, are essential for early morphogenesis of human neuronal development, while ECEL1 underlies human neuronal functional developmental maturation through CALM3 ...

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

Astrocytic PCBP1 Suppresses Ferroptosis to Restore Glutamatergic Homeostasis and Mitigate Stress‐Induced Depression in Male Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that polyC‐RNA‐binding protein 1 (PCBP1) in ventral hippocampal astrocytes modulates depressive‐like behaviors by regulating glutathione peroxidase 4‐mediated ferroptosis and synaptic glutamatergic transmission. PCBP1 overexpression intervention in the chronic unpredictable mild stress model rescues behavioral deficits ...

Effectiveness of Multivitamins vs Folic Acid on Prevention of Neural Tube Defects in Mouse Genetic Models and Human Organoids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Folic acid (FA) and multivitamins/minerals (MVM) are recommended for the prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs). Using a novel human neural tube‐like organoid system and mouse models, the study compares the effectiveness of two supplements on NTDs and cellular behaviors.
