Though mechanistically unclear, a positive correlation has been observed between folate deficiency in the diet and decrease function of DNA base excision repair pathways.

Requena4,5, Lilli Bittner1, Petra Hajkova4,5, Heinrich Bollwein1* and Rafaella Santoro2* Abstract Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress is well known to play a major role in male infer- tility. Sperm are sensitive to ROS damaging efects because as male germ cells form mature sperm they progressively lose the ability to repair DNA damage. However, how oxidative DNA lesions in sperm afect early embryonic develop- ment remains elusive. Results: Using cattle as model, we show that fertilization using sperm exposed to oxidative stress caused a major developmental arrest at the time of embryonic genome activation. The levels of DNA damage response did not directly correlate with the degree of developmental defects. The early cellular response for DNA damage, γH2AX, is already present at high levels in zygotes that progress normally in development and did not signifcantly increase at the paternal genome containing oxidative DNA lesions. Moreover, XRCC1, a factor implicated in the last step of base excision repair (BER) pathway, was recruited to the damaged paternal genome, indicating that the maternal BER machinery can repair these DNA lesions induced in sperm. Remarkably, the paternal genome with oxidative DNA lesions showed an impairment of zygotic active DNA demethylation, a process that previous studies linked to BER. Quantitative immunofuorescence analysis and ultrasensitive LC–MS-based measurements revealed that oxidative DNA lesions in sperm impair active DNA demethylation at paternal pronuclei, without afecting 5-hydroxymethyl- cytosine (5hmC), a 5-methylcytosine modifcation that has been implicated in paternal active DNA demethylation in mouse zygotes.

Disruption of their control is a frequent event in disease. Particularly, the methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27), induced by the methylase Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), emerges as a key control of gene expression, and a major regulator of cell physiology. The identification of driver mutations in EZH2 has already led to new prognostic and therapeutic advances, and new classes of potent and specific inhibitors for EZH2 show promising results in preclinical trials. This review examines roles of histone lysine methylases and demetylases in cells, and focuses on the recent knowledge and developments about EZH2. Key-terms: epigenetic, histone methylation, EZH2, cancerology, tumors, apoptosis, cell death, inhibitor, stem cells, H3K27 2 Histone modifications and histone code Epigenetic has been defined as inheritable changes in gene expression that occur without a change in DNA sequence. Key components of epigenetic processes are DNA methylation, histone modifications and variants, non-histone chromatin proteins, small interfering RNA (siRNA) and micro RNA (miRNA).

    Review articles 3-Methyladenine DNA glycosylases: structure, function, and biological importance Michael D. Wyatt,1 James M. Allan,1 Albert Y. Lau,2 Tom E. Ellenberger,2 and Leona D. Samson1* Summary The genome continuously suffers damage due to its reactivity with chemical and physical agents. Finding such damage in genomes (that can be several million to several billion nucleotide base pairs in size) is a seemingly daunting task. 3-Methyladenine DNA glycosylases can initiate the base excision repair (BER) of an extraordinarily wide range of substrate bases. The advantage of such broad substrate recognition is that these enzymes provide resistance to a wide variety of DNA damaging agents; however, under certain circumstances, the eclectic nature of these enzymes can confer some biological disadvantages. Solving the X-ray crystal struc- tures of two 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylases, and creating cells and animals altered for this activity, contributes to our understanding of their enzyme mechanism and how such enzymes influence the biological response of organisms to several different types of DNA damage.

Recent studies have revealed the involvement of DNA methylation in regulating this process, but no information is available on the role of histone modifications in microspore embryogenesis. Histone modifications are major epigenetic marks controlling gene expression during plant development and in response to environment. Lysine methylation of histones, accomplished by histone lysine methyltransferases (HKMTs), can occur on different lysine residues, with histone H3K9 methylation being mainly associated with transcriptionally silenced regions. In contrast, histone H3 and H4 acetylation is carried out by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and is associated with actively transcribed genes. In this work we analyze three different histone epigenetic marks: dimethylation of H3K9 (H3K9me2) and acetylation of H3 and H4 (H3Ac and H4Ac) during microspore embryogenesis in Brassica napus, by Western blot and immunofluorescence assays.
