Abstract

Close-Up of DNA Methylation: In eukaryotes, maintenance of genomic CpG methylation patterns is required for imprinting, retrotransposon silencing, and X-chromosome inactivation. The epigenetic mark needs to be faithfully maintained and propagated during repeated cell divisions in somatic cells by selective methylation of hemimethylated CpG dinucleotides following DNA replication, which is carried out by the enzyme DNMT1. Song et al. (p. 709 ) determined the crystal structure of mouse DNMT1 bound to a DNA duplex containing a hemimethylated CpG on the parental strand, such as would be found immediately after DNA replication. Together with a previous structure of the autoinhibited structure, the findings suggest that a combination of active and auto-inhibitory mechanisms ensures the high fidelity of DNMT1-mediated maintenance of DNA methylation.

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.
