Lack of Mt Tdp1 a results e in a 39% reduction of methylated cytosines as compared thto control. RNA-Seq analyses revealed that 11 DNA transto posons and 22 retrotransposons were differentially exrpressed in the Tdp1a-2a line. Among them all, DNA etttransposons(Mu DR, h AT, DNA3-11_Mad) and seven retroetransposons(LTR(Long Terminal Repeat)/Gipsy, LTR/Copia,LLTR and Non LTR/L1) were down-regulated, while the15 retrotransposons were up regulated. Results suggest that the occurrence of stress-responsive cis-elements as well as changes in the methylation pattern at the LTR promoters might be responsible for the enhanced retrotransposon transcription.展开更多
