Using computer-based methods, we determined the global distribution of short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) on human and mouse X chromosomes. It was shown that this distribution was similar to the distribution of CpG islands and genes, but was different from the distribution of LINE1 elements. Since SINEs (human Alu and mouse B2) may have binding sites for Polycomb protein YY1, we suggest that these repeats can serve as additional signals (“boosters”) in Polycomb-dependent silencing of gene-rich segments during X inactivation. 相似文献

In female somatic cells of mammalian species one X chromosome is inactivated to ensure dosage equality of X-encoded genes between females and males, during development and adulthood. X chromosome inactivation (XCI) involves various epigenetic mechanisms, including RNA mediated gene silencing in cis, DNA methylation, and changes in chromatin modifications and composition. XCI therefore provides an attractive paradigm to study epigenetic gene regulation in a more general context. The XCI process starts with counting of the number of X chromosomes present in a nucleus, and initiation of XCI follows if this number exceeds one per diploid genome. Recently, X-encoded RNF12 has been identified as a dose-dependent activator of XCI. In addition, other factors, including the pluripotency factors OCT4, SOX2 and Nanog, have been implicated to play a role in suppression of initiation of XCI. In this review, we highlight and explain these new and old findings in the context of a stochastic model for X chromosome counting and XCI initiation. 相似文献

Xist是与X染色体失活相关的非编码基因,它在合子期基因组开始表达,是胚胎发育早期表达的第一个印记基因。探讨了特异性抑制Xist的TALER-REPRESSOR(TALER)载体转染到胎牛成纤维细胞对Xist基因的抑制作用,并以抑制Xist基因表达的细胞作为核供体制作克隆胚胎,研究Xist基因抑制对牛克隆胚早期发育的影响。结果显示,与对照组细胞相比,TALER载体将Xist相对表达量下调了93.85%,说明本试验设计的载体转染系统能够有效抑制Xist基因的表达。选取Xist抑制表达阳性的转染细胞用于体细胞核移植试验,克隆胚胎发育结果显示,试验组和对照组的卵裂率、8细胞发育率、桑葚胚发育率和囊胚发育率分别为78.8%vs 75.1%(P0.05,无显著差异)、54.4%vs 50.6%(P0.05,无显著差异)、12.3%vs 27.8%(P0.01,差异极显著)、0 vs 26.6%(P0.01,差异极显著)。综上所述,试实验设计的特异性抑制Xist表达的TALER载体可有效抑制雌性胎牛成纤维细胞中Xist的表达。供体细胞Xist这种基因下调可使克隆胚胎2-8细胞率略有提升,但囊胚期和桑葚胚率明显降低。因此,其机制尚待于进一步探讨。 相似文献

The integration of X-inactivation with development is a crucial aspect of this classical paradigm of epigenetic regulation. During early female mouse development, X-inactivation reprogramming occurs in pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass of the blastocyst and in pluripotent primordial germ cells. Here we discuss the developmental strategies which ensure the coupling of the regulation of X-inactivation to the acquisition of pluripotency through the regulation of the master of X-inactivation, the non-coding Xist gene, by the key factors which support pluripotency Nanog, Oct4 and Sox2. 相似文献
