英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad long term objective is to
determine the mechanism and role in development of the epigenetic -system of
genomic imprinting. Imprinting of the H19 and insulin-like growth factor 2
(Igf2) genes (resulting in their monoallelic expression) is achieved through
paternal-specific methylation of a 2.4 kb imprinting control region (ICR) as
inherited from the male germ line. The specific aims are designed to further
understanding of (1) how male germ cell-specific methylation of the ICR is
achieved-this would be the imprinting mechanism, and (2) how the maternal ICR
functions as a chromatin insulator in somatic cells. The specific aims are (1)
in somatic cells, to map the ICR for sites of parent-of-origin allele-specific
protein binding, and similarly, in germ cells, to map the ICR for sites of
sex-specific protein binding. Sites characterized in this way will be
candidates for mediating imprinting or male germ cell-specific ICR methylation.
(2) Mutate these candidate sites in mice to test their role in mediating
imprinting, and (3) identify the proteins binding to these sites. The
hypothesis being tested by these aims is that there is a "primary protein
difference" between the two germ lines which determines imprinting. These
studies are related to health in that genomic imprinting underlies a number of
human diseases, e.g., hydatidiform mole, ovarian teratoma, and the Prader-Willi
and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndromes. Further understanding of the genetic basis of
genomic imprinting will therefore shed light on the genetic basis of these
diseases. The research design and methods for achieving this goal will involve
(1) in vivo footprinting of the ICR to visualize protein binding sites, (2)
targeted mutagenesis of ICR sites in mice and assessment of effects on
imprinting by allele-specific expression and methylation analysis of H19 and
Igf2, and (3) competitive and supershift electrophoretic mobility shift assays
to identify proteins binding to ICR sites. Further assessment of protein
identity by examining mouse mutants for candidate proteins.
