The DNA methylation level against the background of the genome size and t-heterochromatin content in some species of the genus Secale L [PDF]
Methylation of cytosine in DNA is one of the most important epigenetic modifications in eukaryotes and plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene activity and the maintenance of genomic integrity.

High sensitivity mapping of methylated cytosines [PDF]
An understanding of DNA methylation and its potential role in gene control during development, aging and cancer has been hampered by a lack of sensitive methods which can resolve exact methylation patterns from only small quantities of DNA. We have now developed a genomic sequencing technique which is capable of detecting every methylated cytosine on ...

Cytosine methylation alteration in natural populations of Leymus chinensis induced by multiple abiotic stresses. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Human activity has a profound effect on the global environment and caused frequent occurrence of climatic fluctuations. To survive, plants need to adapt to the changing environmental conditions through altering their morphological and ...

The Dnmt3L ADD Domain Controls Cytosine Methylation Establishment during Spermatogenesis [PDF]
A critical aspect of mammalian gametogenesis is the reprogramming of genomic DNA methylation. The catalytically inactive adaptor Dnmt3L is essential to ensuring this occurs correctly, but the mechanism by which it functions is unclear.

Recognition of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by the Uhrf1 SRA domain. [PDF]
Recent discovery of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in genomic DNA raises the question how this sixth base is recognized by cellular proteins. In contrast to the methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) of MeCP2, we found that the SRA domain of Uhrf1, an essential

Dynamic bimodal changes in CpG and non-CpG methylation genome-wide upon CGGBP1 loss-of-function
Objectives Although CpG methylation is well studied, mechanisms of non-CpG methylation in mammals remains elusive. Studying proteins with non-CpG cytosine methylation-sensitive DNA-binding, such as human CGGBP1, can unveil cytosine methylation regulatory

Dynamics of Methylated Cytosine Flipping by UHRF1 [PDF]
DNA methylation patterns, which are critical for gene expression, are replicated by DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) proteins. This replication is initiated by the recognition of hemimethylated CpG sites and further flipping of methylated cytosines (mC) by the Set and Ring Associated ...

Cytosine methylation of the sequence GATC in a mycoplasma [PDF]
Mycoplasma virus L2 is subject to host-specific restriction and modification in Acholeplasma laidlawii strains JA1 and K2. We have examined the DNAs from both host cells and viruses propagated on these strains with respect to susceptibility to cleavage by restriction endonucleases and for DNA base modifications.
