The spatial proximity between regulatory elements and their target genes has a profound affect on gene expression. X Chromosome Inactivation (XCI) is an epigenetic process by which an entire chromosome is rendered, for the most part, transcriptionally silent. A few genes are known to escape XCI and ...

Binding of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and chromatin composition of the inactive X (Xi) before, during and after X chromosome inactivation reveal that spreading is driven by a combination of Xi-specific strong and moderate Ezh2 sites. Sequence context of these sites shows a moderate enrichm...

In this study, we explored x-inactivation in monkey embryos (ICM and TE separately) and pluripotent stem cells (IVF derived ES, SCNT-derived ES and monkey iPS) To elucidate x-inactivation in experimentally reprogrammed pluripotent cells, we derived pluripotent stem cells by both SCNT and iPS approac...

The Xist long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is essential for X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), the process by which mammals compensate for unequal numbers of sex chromosomes. During XCI, Xist coats the future inactive X (Xi) and recruits Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to the X-inactivation center (Xic...

X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a dosage compensation mechanism in female cells to regulate X-linked gene expression. We report here that subcultures from established lines of female hESCs displayed variations (0-100%) in the expression of XCI markers such as XIST RNA coating and enrichment of h...

CTCF is a master regulator that plays a role in genome architecture and gene expression. A key aspect of CTCF’s mechanism involves bringing together distant genetic elements for intra- and inter-chromosomal interactions. Evidence from epigenetic processes, such as X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), su...

Xist represents a paradigm for long non-coding RNA function in epigenetic regulation, although how it mediates X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) remains largely unexplained. Multiple Xist-RNA binding proteins have recently been identified, including SPEN/SHARP, whose knockdown has been associated with...

During development, transcriptional and chromatin modification changes co-occur but the order and causality of events often remain unclear. We explore the interrelationship of these processes using the paradigm of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). We initiate XCI in female, mouse embryonic stem cells...

XX mice undergo both X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) and X-chromosome upregulation (XCU) to balance X-linked gene dosage with autosomes and XY mice. XCU has also been reported in XY cells, as well as cells with a single copy of the X-chromosome (XO). The two dosage compensation processes have been s...

The presence of two active X chromosomes (XaXa) is a hallmark of the ground state of pluripotency specific to murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Human ESCs invariably exhibit signs of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and are considered developmentally more advanced than their murine counterparts. W...
