Abstract

Genomic imprinting relies on establishing and maintaining the parental-specific methylation of DNA elements that control the differential expression of maternal and paternal alleles. Although the essential DNA methyltransferases have been discovered, proteins that regulate the sequence-specific establishment and maintenance of allelic methylation have not been identified. One candidate regulator of methylation, the zinc-finger protein CTCF, binds to the imprinting control region (ICR) of the genes Igf2 (encoding insulin-like growth factor 2) and H19 (fetal liver mRNA; refs. 1,2). The unmethylated maternal ICR is a chromatin boundary that prevents distant enhancers from activating Igf2 (refs. 3-6). In vitro experiments have suggested that CTCF mediates boundary activity of the maternal ICR, and that methylation of the paternal ICR abolishes this activity by preventing CTCF binding. Using mice with point mutations in all four CTCF sites in the ICR, we show that maternally transmitted mutant ICRs in neonatal mice acquire a substantial but heterogeneous degree of methylation. Mutant ICRs in oocytes and blastocysts are not methylated, however, indicating that binding of CTCF is not required to establish the unmethylated ICR during oogenesis. We also show that the mutant ICR lacks enhancer-blocking activity, as the expression of Igf2 is activated on mutant maternal chromosomes. Conversely, maternal H19 expression is reduced, suggesting a positive role for CTCF in the transcription of that gene. This study constitutes the first in vivo demonstration of the multiple functions of CTCF in an ICR.

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.
