Genome-wide Characterization of the JmjC Domain-Containing Histone Demethylase Gene Family Reveals GhJMJ24 and GhJMJ49 Involving in Somatic Embryogenesis Process in Cotton.

ABSTRACT: The Jumonji C (JmjC) domain-containing protein family, an important family of histone demethylase in plants, can directly reverse histone methylation and play important roles in various growth and development processes. In the present study, 51 JmjC genes (GhJMJs) were identified by genome-wide analysis in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), which can be categorized into six distinct groups by phylogenetic analysis. Extensive syntenic relationship events were found between G. hirsutum and Theobroma cacao. We have further explored the putative molecular regulatory mechanisms of the JmjC gene family in cotton. GhJMJ24 and GhJMJ49 were both preferentially expressed in embryogenic callus compared to nonembryogenic callus in cotton tissue culture, which might be regulated by transcription factors and microRNAs to some extent. Further experiments indicated that GhJMJ24 and GhJMJ49 might interact with SUVH4, SUVH6, DDM1, CMT3, and CMT1 in the nucleus, potentially in association with demethylation of H3K9me2. Taken together, our results provide a foundation for future research on the biological functions of GhJMJ genes in cotton, especially in somatic embryogenesis in cotton tissue culture, which is crucial for the regeneration of transgenic plants.

Project description:Histone modification is an important epigenetic modification that controls gene transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes. Histone methylation is accomplished by histone methyltransferase and can occur on two amino acid residues, arginine and lysine. JumonjiC (JmjC) domain-containing histone demethylase regulates gene transcription and chromatin structure by changing the methylation state of the lysine residue site and plays an important role in plant growth and development. In this study, we carried out genome-wide identification and comprehensive analysis of JmjC genes in the allotetraploid cotton species Gossypium hirsutum. In total, 50 JmjC genes were identified and in G. hirsutum, and 25 JmjC genes were identified in its two diploid progenitors, G. arboreum and G. raimondii, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis divided these JmjC genes into five subfamilies. A collinearity analysis of the two subgenomes of G. hirsutum and the genomes of G. arboreum and G. raimondii uncovered a one-to-one relationship between homologous genes of the JmjC gene family. Most homologs in the JmjC gene family between A and D subgenomes of G. hirsutum have similar exon-intron structures, which indicated that JmjC family genes were conserved after the polyploidization. All G. hirsutumJmjC genes were found to have a typical JmjC domain, and some genes also possess other special domains important for their function. Analysis of promoter regions revealed that cis-acting elements, such as those related to hormone and abiotic stress response, were enriched in G. hirsutum JmjC genes. According to a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis, most G. hirsutumJmjC genes had high abundance expression at developmental stages of fibers, suggesting that they might participate in cotton fiber development. In addition, some G. hirsutumJmjC genes were found to have different degrees of response to cold or osmotic stress, thus indicating their potential role in these types of abiotic stress response. Our results provide useful information for understanding the evolutionary history and biological function of JmjC genes in cotton.

Project description:BackgroundHistone methylation occurs primarily on lysine residues and requires a set of enzymes capable of reading, writing, and erasing to control its establishment and deletion, which is essential for maintaining chromatin structure and gene expression. Histone methylation and demethylation are contributed to plant growth and development, and are involved in adapting to environmental stresses. The JmjC domain-containing proteins are extensively studied for their function in histone lysine demethylation in plants, and play a critical role in sustaining histone methylation homeostasis.ResultsIn this study, a total of 21 JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase proteins (JHDMs) in birch were identified and classified into five subfamilies based on structural characteristics and phylogenetic relationships among Arabidopsis, rice, maize, and birch. Although the BpJMJ genes displayed significant schematic variation, their distribution on the chromosomes is relatively uniform. Additionally, the BpJMJ genes in birch have never experienced a tandem-duplication event proved by WGD analysis and were remaining underwent purifying selection (Ka/Ks < < 1). A typical JmjC domain was found in all BpJMJ genes, some of which have other essential domains for their functions. In the promoter regions of BpJMJ genes, cis-acting elements associated with hormone and abiotic stress responses were overrepresented. Under abiotic stresses, the transcriptome profile reveals two contrasting expression patterns within 21 BpJMJ genes. Furthermore, it was established that most BpJMJ genes had higher expression in young tissues under normal conditions, with BpJMJ06/16 having the highest expression in germinating seeds and participating in the regulation of BpGA3ox1/2 gene expression. Eventually, BpJMJ genes were found to directly interact with genes involved in the "intracellular membrane" in respond to cold stress.ConclusionsThe present study will provide a foundation for future experiments on histone demethylases in birch and a theoretical basis for epigenetic research on growth and development in response to abiotic stresses.
