X inactivation, differentiation, and DNA methylation
A model based on DNA methylation is proposed to explain the initiation and maintenance of mammalian X inactivation and certain aspects of other permanent events in eukaryotic ce...
De novo methylation of the MyoD1 CpG island during the establishment of immortal cell lines.
CpG dinucleotides are unevenly distributed in the vertebrate genome. Bulk DNA is depleted of CpGs and most of the cytosines in the dinucleotide in this fraction are methylated. ...
Lymphocyte activation by CpG dinucleotide motifs in prokaryotic DNA
CpG dinucleotides are present at the expected frequency in prokaryotic DNA, but are underrepresented ('CpG suppression') and methylated in vertebrate DNA. The vertebrate immune ...
Methylation hot spots in the 5' flanking region denote silencing of the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene.
The mechanism whereby the DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is silenced in repair-deficient (Mer-) human tumor cells is unknown. The role of methy...
