De novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B are essential of global DNA methylation maintenance [BS-Seq]


ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is the net result of deposition by DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1, 3A and 3B) and removal by the Ten-Eleven Translocation 1-3 (TET1-3) family of proteins and/or passive loss by replication. The relative contribution of the individual enzymes and pathways is only partially understood. Here we comprehensively analyzed and mathematically simulated the dynamics of DNA de-methylation during the reprogramming of the hypermethylated serum-cultured mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to the hypomethylated 2i-cultured ground state of mESC. We show that DNA demethylation readily occurs in TET[1-/-, 2-/-] ESCs with similar kinetics as their WT littermates. Vitamin C activation of TET causes accelerated and more profound DNA demethylation without markedly affecting reprogramming kinetics. We developed a mathematical model that highly accurately predicts the global level of 5methyl- and 5hydroxymethylcytosine during the transition. Modeling and experimental validation show that the concentration of DNMT3A and DNMT3B determines the steady state level of global DNA methylation and absence of DNMT3A/B even in continued presence of DNMT1 results in gradual loss of 5mC. Taken together, DNMT1 alone is insufficient to maintain DNA methylation but requires the action of DNMT3A/3B that act as a “dimmer switches”.
