Abstract

After erasure in the early animal embryo, a new bimodal DNA methylation pattern is regenerated at implantation. We have identified a demethylation pathway in mouse embryonic cells that uses hydroxymethylation (Tet1), deamination (Aid), glycosylation (Mbd4) and excision repair (Gadd45a) genes. Surprisingly, this demethylation system is not necessary for generating the overall bimodal methylation pattern but does appear to be involved in resetting methylation patterns during somatic-cell reprogramming.

Funding Information:
Knockout Aid− and Mbd4− ES cells were obtained from T. Honjo (Kyoto University) and A. Bird (Edinburgh University), respectively. Tissue DNA from Aid− and Mbd4− mice was obtained from W. Reik (Cambridge University) and A. Bird (Edinburgh University), respectively. This research was supported by US National Institutes of Health grant 5R01GM062275 (H.C.), European Research Council grant ERCGA268614 (H.C.), Israeli Centers Of Research Excellence grant 41/11 (H.C.), Israel Cancer Research Foundation grant 210910 (H.C.) and Israel Science Foundation grant 419/10 (H.C.).
