Mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) contain tens of thousands of posttranscriptional chemical modifications. Among these, the N(6)-methyl-adenosine (m(6)A) modification is the most abundant and can be removed by specific mammalian enzymes.

The Many Faces of EpigeneticsOxford, December 2017
The conference ‘The Many Faces of Epigenetics: Multidisciplinary Perspectives “over” Genetics’ was held in Oxford (6–8 December 2017) and offered a valuable window into the domain of Epigenetics and its promises.

Summary: Abnormal epigenetics is the initial factor of the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis (OA), and abnormal mechanical load is a key pathogenic factor of OA. However, how abnormal mechanical load affects chondrocyte epigenetics is unclear.

The social construction of the social epigenome and the larger biological context
Epigenetics researchers in developmental, cell, and molecular biology greatly diverge in their understanding and definitions of epigenetics. In contrast, social epigeneticists, e.g., sociologists, scholars of STS, and behavioural scientists, share a ...

Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is stimulated by red light irradiation
Light at different wavelengths has distinct effects on keratinocyte viability and metabolism. UVA light abrogates metabolic fluxes. Blue and green light have no effect on metabolic fluxes, while red light enhanced oxidative phosphorylation by promoting fatty acid oxidation. Keratinocytes are the primary constituents of sunlight‐exposed epidermis.

Maternal SMCHD1 regulates Hox gene expression and patterning in the mouse embryo
Parents transmit both genetic and epigenetic information to their offspring, with maternal effect genes being critical regulators of the offspring epigenome.

The IQ‐compete assay for measuring mitochondrial protein import efficiencies in living yeast cells
The efficiency of mitochondrial protein import depends on the properties of the newly synthesized precursor proteins. The Import and de‐Quenching Competition (IQ‐compete) assay is a novel method to monitor the import efficiency of different proteins by fluorescence in living yeast cells.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) lacks iodide uptake ability due to MAPK activation increasing the expression of the histone methyltransferase EZH2, which represses thyroid differentiation genes (TDGs) such as the sodium iodide symporter (NIS). Dual inhibition of MAPK (U0126) and EZH2 (EPZ6438/Tazemetostat) reverses this mechanism, thus restoring TDG ...

Complete loss of H3K9 methylation dissolves mouse heterochromatin organization
Histone H3K9 methylation (H3K9me) states define repressed chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Here the authors reveal complete loss of all H3K9me in mammalian cells through successive deletion of H3K9 methyltransferase genes that results in the dissolution of

Genetic information is not transmitted solely by DNA but by the epigenetics process. Epigenetics describes molecular missing link pathways that could bridge the gap between the genetic background and environmental risk factors that contribute to the ...
