An epigenetic switch ensures transposon repression upon dynamic loss of DNA methylation in embryonic stem cells

M Walter, A Teissandier, R Pérez-Palacios, D Bourc'His - Elife, 2016 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.11418.001 DNA methylation is extensively remodeled during mammalian
gametogenesis and embryogenesis. Most transposons become hypomethylated, raising the …

DNA methylation restrains transposons from adopting a chromatin signature permissive for meiotic recombination

…, J Barau, A Teissandier, M Walter… - Genes & …, 2015 - genesdev.cshlp.org
DNA methylation is essential for protecting the mammalian germline against transposons.
When DNA methylation-based transposon control is defective, meiotic chromosome pairing is …

[HTML][HTML] Characterising proteolysis during SARS-CoV-2 infection identifies viral cleavage sites and cellular targets with therapeutic potential

…, DP Bryne, LA Daly, A Grauslys, M Walter… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent behind the COVID-19 pandemic, responsible for over
170 million infections, and over 3.7 million deaths worldwide. Efforts to test, treat and …

Transient transcription in the early embryo sets an epigenetic state that programs postnatal growth

…, J Glaser, M Borsos, FE Marjou, M Walter… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
The potential for early embryonic events to program epigenetic states that influence adult
physiology remains an important question in health and development. Using the imprinted …

[HTML][HTML] SIRT5 is a proviral factor that interacts with SARS-CoV-2 Nsp14 protein

M Walter, IP Chen, A Vallejo-Gracia, IJ Kim… - PLoS …, 2022 - journals.plos.org
SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein Nsp14 is a highly conserved enzyme necessary for viral
replication. Nsp14 forms a stable complex with non-structural protein Nsp10 and exhibits …

DNA methylation restricts coordinated germline and neural fates in embryonic stem cell differentiation

…, J Iranzo, F El Marjou, P Gestraud, M Walter… - Nature Structural & …, 2024 - nature.com
As embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transition from naive to primed pluripotency during early
mammalian development, they acquire high DNA methylation levels. During this transition, the …

FOXO1 promotes HIV latency by suppressing ER stress in T cells

…, T Tezil, K Krey, KA Raymond, PA Hull, M Walter… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Quiescence is a hallmark of CD4 + T cells latently infected with human immunodeficiency
virus 1 (HIV-1). While reversing this quiescence is an effective approach to reactivate latent …

[HTML][HTML] Coenzyme A binding sites induce proximal acylation across protein families

C Carrico, A Cruz, M Walter, J Meyer, C Wehrfritz… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Lysine Nɛ-acylations, such as acetylation or succinylation, are post-translational modifications
that regulate protein function. In mitochondria, lysine acylation is predominantly non-…

[HTML][HTML] Viral gene drive in herpesviruses

M Walter, E Verdin - Nature Communications, 2020 - nature.com
Gene drives are genetic modifications designed to propagate in a population with high
efficiency. Current gene drive strategies rely on sexual reproduction and are thought to be …
