A satellite DNA array barcodes chromosome 7 and regulates totipotency via ZFP819

Didier Trono, Helen Mary Rowe, Gabriela Ecco

Mammalian genomes are a battleground for genetic conflict between repetitive elements and KRAB-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs). We asked whether KZFPs can regulate cell fate by using ZFP819, which targets a satellite DNA array, ZP3AR. ZP3AR coats megabase reg ...

Transposable Elements and Their KRAB-ZFP Controllers Regulate Gene Expression in Adult Tissues

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Julien Léonard Duc, Helen Mary Rowe, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Gabriela Ecco, Marco Cassano, Michaël Imbeault, Andrea Coluccio

KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress with their cofactor KAP1 through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a ...

A Large-Scale Functional Screen to Identify Epigenetic Repressors of Retrotransposon Expression

Didier Trono, Helen Mary Rowe, Gabriela Ecco

Deposition of epigenetic marks is an important layer of the transcriptional control of retrotransposons, especially during early embryogenesis. Krüppel-associated box domain zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are one of the largest families of transcription ...

Loss of transcriptional control over endogenous retroelements during reprogramming to pluripotency

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Bastien Mangeat, Helen Mary Rowe, Marc Samuel Friedli, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Gabriela Ecco, Benjamin Rauwel, Carmen Maria Unzu Ezquerro, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert

Endogenous retroelements (EREs) account for about half of the mouse or human genome, and their potential as insertional mutagens and transcriptional perturbators is suppressed by early embryonic epigenetic silencing. Here, we asked how ERE control is maint ...

Global and stage specific patterns of krüppel-associated-box zinc finger protein gene expression in murine early embryonic cells

Carine Delattre-Gubelmann, Didier Trono, Andrea Corsinotti, Helen Mary Rowe, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Bart Deplancke, Yoann Mouscaz, Michaël Imbeault

Highly coordinated transcription networks orchestrate the self-renewal of pluripotent stem cell and the earliest steps of mammalian development. KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins represent the largest group of transcription factors encoded by the genome ...

De novo DNA methylation of endogenous retroviruses is shaped by KRAB-ZFPs/KAP1 and ESET

Didier Trono, Sonia Verp, Helen Mary Rowe, Marc Samuel Friedli, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) undergo de novo DNA methylation during the first few days of mammalian embryogenesis, although the factors that control the targeting of this process are largely unknown. We asked whether KAP1 (KRAB-associated protein 1) is i ...

KAP1 controls endogenous retroviruses in embryonic stem cells

Didier Trono, Daniel Constam, Pierre Maillard, Séverine Reynard, Johan Jakobsson, Sonia Verp, Helen Mary Rowe, Jacques Rougemont, Hillary Layard-Liesching

More than forty per cent of the mammalian genome is derived from retroelements, of which about one-quarter are endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Some are still active, notably in mice the highly polymorphic early transposon (ETn)/MusD and intracisternal A-ty ...
