Recent studies on the transcriptional regulation of two linked, imprinted genes, Igf2 and H19, have provided evidence for a novel mechanism of epigenetic control. DNA methylation controls the activity of an insulator element located between the two linked genes by regulating the binding of the zinc-finger protein CTCF.
最近对两个连锁的印记基因Igf2和H19转录调控的研究,为一种新的表观遗传控制机制提供了证据。DNA甲基化通过调节锌指蛋白CTCF的结合来控制位于这两个连锁基因之间的一个绝缘子元件的活性。
