How can memories last for days, years, or a lifetime? Proposed mechanisms for maintaining synaptic potentiation and memory.
TL;DR: Characteristics of some commonly discussed feedback loops proposed to underlie the maintenance of memory and long-term synaptic plasticity are reviewed, evidence for and against their necessity are assessed, and experiments that could further delineate the dynamics of these feedback loops are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron as a model nutrient for understanding the nutritional origins of neuropsychiatric disease.
TL;DR: Developmental iron deficiency (ID), the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide, is discussed as a paradigm for understanding the role of early-life nutrition in neurodevelopment and risk of neuropsychiatric disease.

Progress in the genetic analysis of Parkinson's disease.
Andrew B. Singleton,John Hardy +1 more
TL;DR: This opinion piece discusses progress in the genetics of Parkinson disease and explores what genetics has revealed thus far in the context of disease biology, and highlights mitophagy/autophagy, dopamine metabolism, and the adaptive immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue-Specific Expression of DNA Methyltransferases Involved in Early-Life Nutritional Stress of Chicken, Gallus gallus
TL;DR: Results suggest that DNA methylation regulator genes are tissue-specifically responsive to acute and chronic stress, and hepatic GR may play a critical role in regulating the early-life nutritional stress response of birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA methylation mediates differentiation in thermal responses of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) derived from different tidal levels.
TL;DR: The results suggest that DNA methylation mediates phenotypic divergence in oysters adapting to different environments, and provides new insight into the epigenetic mechanisms underlying phenotypesic plasticity in adaptation to rapid climate change in marine organisms.

DNA methyltransferases Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are essential for de novo methylation and mammalian development.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that two recently identified DNA methyltransferases, DnMT3a and Dnmt3b, are essential for de novo methylation and for mouse development and play important roles in normal development and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic programming by maternal behavior.
Ian C. G. Weaver,Nadia Cervoni,Frances A. Champagne,Ana C. D'Alessio,Shakti Sharma,Jonathan R. Seckl,Sergiy Dymov,Moshe Szyf,Michael J. Meaney +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that an epigenomic state of a gene can be established through behavioral programming, and it is potentially reversible, suggesting a causal relation among epigenomicState, GR expression and the maternal effect on stress responses in the offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of 5-Methylcytosine to 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Mammalian DNA by MLL Partner TET1

TL;DR: It is shown here that TET1, a fusion partner of the MLL gene in acute myeloid leukemia, is a 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)- and Fe(II)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes conversion of 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) in cultured cells and in vitro.

Rett syndrome is caused by mutations in X-linked MECP2, encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2.
Ruthie E. Amir,Ignatia B. Van den Veyver,Mimi Wan,Charles Q. Tran,Uta Francke,Huda Y. Zoghbi +5 more
TL;DR: This study reports the first disease-causing mutations in RTT and points to abnormal epigenetic regulation as the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of RTT.

TL;DR: The first genome-wide, single-base-resolution maps of methylated cytosines in a mammalian genome, from both human embryonic stem cells and fetal fibroblasts, along with comparative analysis of messenger RNA and small RNA components of the transcriptome, several histone modifications, and sites of DNA-protein interaction for several key regulatory factors were presented in this article.
