Large histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylated chromatin blocks distinguish differentiated from embryonic stem cells
Open accessAbstract
Higher eukaryotes must adapt a totipotent genome to specialized cell types with stable but limited functions. One potential mechanism for lineage restriction is changes in chromatin, and differentiation-related chromatin changes have been observed for individual genes. We have taken a genome-wide view of histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9Me2) and find that differentiated tissues show surprisingly large K9-modified regions (up to 4.9 Mb). These regions are highly conserved between human and mouse and are differentiation specific, covering only ∼4% of the genome in undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, compared to 31% in differentiated ES cells, ∼46% in liver and ∼10% in brain. These modifications require histone methyltransferase G9a and are inversely related to expression of genes within the regions. We term these regions large organized chromatin K9 modifications (LOCKs). LOCKs are substantially lost in cancer cell lines, and they may provide a cell type–heritable mechanism for phenotypic plasticity in development and disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
