[PDF][PDF] In embryonic stem cells, ZFP57/KAP1 recognize a methylated hexanucleotide to affect chromatin and DNA methylation of imprinting control regions

S Quenneville, G Verde, A Corsinotti, A Kapopoulou… - Molecular cell, 2011 - cell.com
The maintenance of H3K9 and DNA methylation at imprinting control regions (ICRs) during
early embryogenesis is key to the regulation of imprinted genes. Here, we reveal that ZFP57, …
