Dissecting the precise role of H3K9 methylation in crosstalk with DNA maintenance methylation in mammals
There is crosstalk between the maintenance of DNA methylation and histone methylation. Here, the authors create an Uhrf1 knockin mouse model that abolishes the H3K9me2/3-binding activity of Uhrf1, and show that DNA maintenance methylation in mammals is largely independent of H3K9 methylation.
