Abstract

Background: Transcriptional regulation of human T-synthase and Cosmc is unknown. Results: Minimal promoters for Cosmc and T-synthase are located in CpG islands, and the promoter of Cosmc, but not T-synthase, was hypermethylated in Tn4 B cells. Conclusion: Promoters of Cosmc and T-synthase are similarly structured, yet different in epigenetic regulation. Significance: These data aid in understanding the role of these genes in biology and diseases.
