摘要: CXXC finger protein 1 (CFP1) binds to unmethylated CpG motifs in DNA, is a component of the mammalian Set1 histone methyltransferase complex, and essential for zebrafish hematopoiesis. Transfection human PLB-985 myeloid cell line with short hairpin RNA directed against transcript encoding CFP1 results 80% fewer colonies compared vector control, suggesting that required survival cells. One clone, CFP1–AS1, exhibits 70% decrease levels slower doubling time due an increase proportion cells G1 G2 S phase. CFP1–AS1 exhibit 40% reduction DNA but contain normal global genomic cytosine methylation. The clone suffers from defect granulocytic differentiation, as approximately half fail obtain terminally differentiated nuclear architecture generate respiratory burst. Similar were obtained upon induc...
