副突变描述了获得性表观遗传状态转移到非连锁同源基因座,导致基因表达的减数分裂可遗传改变。对副突变的早期研究以一种不同于孟德尔遗传学的变化和遗传模式为特征,催化了表观基因组的概念。现在已经出现了许多副突变和副突变样现象的例子,有证据表明小RNA参与了表观遗传状态的转移和维持。在动物中,piRNA介导的逆转录转座子抑制似乎驱动具有副突变样特征的表观遗传的巨大系统。副突变的经典例子可能仅仅是普遍和广泛保守的机制的信息畸变,这些机制使用RNA来感知同源性和靶向表观遗传修饰。在这种情况下,副突变只是基于表观遗传状态的常见和广泛分布的遗传形式的一个方面。
Paramutation describes the transfer of an acquired epigenetic state to an unlinked homologous locus, resulting in a meiotically heritable alteration in gene expression. Early investigations of paramutation characterized a mode of change and inheritance distinct from mendelian genetics, catalyzing the concept of the epigenome. Numerous examples of paramutation and paramutation-like phenomena have now emerged, with evidence that implicates small RNAs in the transfer and maintenance of epigenetic states. In animals piRNA-mediated retrotransposon suppression seems to drive a vast system of epigenetic inheritance with paramutation-like characteristics. The classic examples of paramutation might be merely informative aberrations of pervasive and broadly conserved mechanisms that use RNA to sense homology and target epigenetic modification. When viewed in this context, paramutation is only one aspect of a common and broadly distributed form of inheritance based on epigenetic states.
