Conserved mechanism of nucleoporin regulation of the <i>Kcnq1ot1</i> imprinted domain with divergence in embryonic and trophoblast stem cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon, whereby dual chromatin states lead to expression of one, and silencing of the other parental allele. Recently, we identified a nucleoporin-mediated mechanism of Kcnq1ot1 imprinted domain regulation in extraembryonic endoderm stem cells by nucleoporins NUP107, NUP62 and NUP153. Here, we investigate their role in Kcnq1ot1 imprinted domain regulation in embryonic and trophoblast stem cells. Nucleoporin depletion in both lineages reduced Kcnq1ot1 noncoding RNA expression and volume, reduced Kcnq1ot1 paternal domain positioning at the nuclear periphery, and altered histone modifications along with histone modifier enrichment at the imprinting control region. However, while CTCF and cohesin were enriched at nucleoporin binding sites in the imprinting control region in embryonic stem cells, with reduction upon nucleoporin depletion, neither CTCF or cohesin occupied these sites in trophoblast stem cells. Finally, different subsets of silent paternal alleles were reactivated via altered histone modification upon nucleoporin depletion in embryonic and trophoblast stem cells. These results demonstrate a conserved mechanism with divergent regulation of the Kcnq1ot1 imprinted domain by NUP107, NUP62 and NUP153 in embryonic and extraembryonic lineages. Summary Statement Investigation of nucleoporins, NUP107, NUP62, and NUP153, revealed a conserved nucleoporin-dependent mechanism that mediates Kcnq1ot1 imprinted domain regulation in ES and TS cells, although notable lineage-specific divergence was also observed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
