Transcriptional response to zebularine and mitomycin C (MMC) in wild type and ATR deficient Arabidopsis thaliana plants


ABSTRACT: Zebularine is a non-methylable cytidine analog that is used in epigenetic and cancer research. Its application has been shown to activate several transcriptionally silenced genetic elements; however, extent of this activation and other effects on the transcriptome are unknown. Here, we show that zebularine treatment induces preferentially genes associated with DNA damage repair response and this activation is strongly ATR-dependent. The set of up- and down-regulated genes after 24 h zebularine treatment is almost fully contained in the set of genes with changed transcription in response to 24 h MMC treatment. We identified only few genes that were up-regulated in common by longer (5 days) zebularine treatment and loss of epigenetic control in ddm1 mutant. Our results suggest that zebularine does not induce global activation of targets of transcriptional gene silencing and indicate previously unanticipated DNA damaging effects associated with zebularine-treatment. Examination of transcriptional changes in response to mock, 24 h and 5 days 20 uM zebularine and 24 h 10 uM MMC treatment in Arabidopsis wild-type and/or atr-2.

DNA damage repair is an essential cellular mechanism that maintains genome stability. Here, we show that the nonmethylable cytidine analog zebularine induces a DNA damage response in Arabidopsis thaliana, independent of changes in DNA methylation. In contrast to genotoxic agents that induce damage in a cell cycle stage-independent manner, zebularine induces damage specifically during strand synthesis in DNA replication. The signaling of this damage is mediated by additive activity of ATAXIA TELA  ...[more]
