Dot1l cooperates with Npm1 to repress endogenous retrovirus MERVL in embryonic stem cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Dot1l is a histone methyltransferase without a SET domain and is responsible for H3K79 methylation, which marks active transcription. In contradiction, Dot1l also participates in silencing gene expression. The target regions and mechanism of Dot1l in repressing transcription remain enigmatic. Here, we examined the possibility for Dot1l as an repressor of MERVL, which is a marker of 2-cell-like cells. Mechanistically, Dot1l interacted with and colocalized with Npm1 on MERVL, and depletion of Npm1 similarly augmented MERVL expression.
