Epigenetic silencing defends against LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposition
in mammalian cells. However, the
mechanisms that repress young L1 families and
how L1 escapes to cause somatic genome mosaicism
in the brain remain unclear. Here we report
that a conserved Yin Yang 1 (YY1) transcription factor
binding site mediates L1 promoter DNA methylation
in pluripotent and differentiated cells. By analyzing
24 hippocampal neurons with three distinct singlecell
genomic approaches, we characterized and validated
a somatic L1 insertion bearing a 3ʹ transduction.
The source (donor) L1 for this insertion was
slightly 5ʹ truncated, lacked the YY1 binding site,
and was highly mobile when tested in vitro. Locusspecific
bisulfite sequencing revealed that the donor
L1 and other young L1s with mutated YY1 binding
sites were hypomethylated in embryonic stem cells,
during neurodifferentiation, and in liver and brain tissue.
These results explain how L1 can evade repression
and retrotranspose in the human body.
