Project description:UHRF1 is a key regulator of DNA methylation maintenance. In this study, we investigated whether acetylation of UHRF1 affects its hemimethylated DNA binding affinity and alters genome-wide DNA methylation pattern. We show that cells with mutation in K490 of UHRF1 have distinct methylation profile versus wildtype UHRF1 expressing cells.
Project description:UHRF1 is a key regulator of DNA methylation maintenance. In this study, we investigated whether acetylation of UHRF1 affects its hemimethylated DNA binding affinity and alters genome-wide DNA methylation pattern. We observed that acetylation of UHRF1 is regulated by HDAC1 and PCAF. We investigated DNA methylation profile of HDAC1 depleted HCT116 cell with control cell.
Project description:transcriptome profiling were performed in human HCT116 wild-type cells, HCT116 DNMT1 hypomorphs, and HCT116 UHRF1 hypomorphs. The paired-end RNA-seq on the Illumina platform was employed to obtain comprehensive gene expression profiles.
Project description:In HCT116 colorectal cancer cells, UHRF1 was knocked down by shRNA (puromycin) while simultaneously transduced with wildtype or mutant UHRF1 (blasticidin) or NDI1 (- control) followed by dual antibiotic selection. DNA was analyzed 11 days after viral transduction.
Project description:In HCT116 colorectal cancer cells, UHRF1, LIG1, or luciferase was knocked down by shRNA followed by selection with puromycin for 2 days. DNA was analyzed 12 days after viral transduction.
Project description:We used microarrays to explore the expression profile from cells expressing wild type and UHRF1 S674A mutant. HeLa cells expressing UHRF1 WT and S674A mutant showed similar gene expression pattern without significant affecting the transcription of DNA repari genes. UHRF1 was depleted in HeLa cells by shRNA treatment. Total RNA was purified and used to determine the global gene transcription profiles by microarray assays. The UHRF1-related genes expression profiles were compared among control cells, UHRF1-depleted cells, UHRF1 WT reconstituting cells and UHRF1 S674A mutant reconstituting cells.
