Abstract

In the mammalian zygote, epigenetic reprogramming is a tightly controlled process of coordinated alterations of histone and DNA modifications. The parental genomes of the zygote show distinct patterns of histone H3 variants and distinct patterns of DNA and histone modifications. The molecular mechanisms linking histone variant-specific modifications and DNA methylation reprogramming during the first cell cycle remain to be clarified. Here, we show that the degree and distribution of H3K9me2 and of DNA modifications (5mC/5hmC) are influenced by the phosphorylation status of H3S10 and H3T11. The overexpression of the mutated histone variants H3.1 and 3.2 at either serine 10 or threonine 11 causes a decrease in H3K9me2 and 5mC and a concomitant increase in 5hmC in the maternal genome. Bisulphite sequencing results indicate an increase in hemimethylated CpG positions following H3.1T10A overexpression suggesting an impact of H3S10 and H3T11 phosphorylation on DNA methylation maintenance. Our data suggest a crosstalk between the cell-cycle-dependent control of S10 and T11 phosphorylation of histone variants H3.1 and H3.2 and the maintenance of the heterochromatic mark H3K9me2. This histone H3 "phospho-methylation switch" also influences the oxidative control of DNA methylation in the mouse zygote.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 October 2017.
All research outputs
#18,531,724
of 22,953,506 outputs
Outputs from Epigenetics & Chromatin
#495
of 568 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#316,385
of 428,391 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Epigenetics & Chromatin
#14
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,953,506 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 568 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.7. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 428,391 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
