Research Abstract

We generated HP1 gamma mutant mice and found that histone methylation at pericentromeric heterochromatin was reduced in the mutant germ cells at meiosis. Next, we found that HP1 gamma is essential for cell cycle progression of primordial germ cells(PGC). Moreover, we found that histone demethylase regulates expression of Hox genes, and the demethylase-deficient mice died perinatally.
